The Adabraka District Court has adjourned the murder case involving the late Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah to October 9, 2025, to allow for further investigations.
This development comes exactly two months after Amoah was reported missing, and just five days before his body was discovered.
The two accused persons — Bright Aweh, the prime suspect, and Thomas Zigah, the second accused — were both present in court. Prosecutors requested a one-month extension of their remand, citing ongoing forensic tests and investigative procedures. The court granted the request and ordered that the suspects remain in custody.
Counsel for the second accused, Gordon Aboagye, reiterated his client’s innocence and assured the court of their preparedness to prove it. He also raised concerns about limited access to the accused in custody, urging authorities to allow family members to deliver necessities and communicate with them.
Addressing the family of the deceased, Aboagye pleaded for patience:
“It is not easy to lose a loved one, but we are on our bended knees to allow the law to work. We are not enemies.”
The presiding judge also cautioned the family of the late officer to refrain from acts of retaliation, warning that any attempts to take the law into their own hands could lead to legal consequences.
Court Drama: Aunt Performs Rituals, Breaks Eggs
Tensions ran high outside the courtroom as aunt of the deceased, in a dramatic scene, performed traditional rituals — breaking eggs and invoking curses.
She declared:
“Anyone responsible for his death should also suffer the same fate. All your generation will suffer the same fate. The gods should deal ruthlessly with anyone involved in his murder. The gods shouldn’t spare them.”
The ritual drew a crowd and added emotional weight to what is already a highly sensitive and closely watched case.
The next hearing is set for October 9, 2025, where updates on forensic results and investigation progress are expected.
