Immigration Officer’s Murder: Court adjourns case to Oct 9

The Adabraka District Court has adjourned the case involving the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah to October 9, 2025.

The hearing comes exactly two months after the officer was declared missing and just five days before his body was discovered.

The prime suspect, Bright Aweh, and a second accused, Thomas Zigah, were both present in court. Prosecutors requested a one-month extension of remand to enable further forensic investigations and ongoing inquiries. The court granted the request, ordering that the two remain in custody.

Counsel for the second accused, Gordon Aboagye, insisted on his client’s innocence and vowed to prove it in court. He raised concerns about the lack of information regarding the detention of the accused, stressing that families should be granted access to provide necessities and confer with them.

He further appealed to the deceased officer’s family to allow due process to prevail, stating: “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 against taking the law into their own hands, warning that any such action could result in legal consequences.

Meanwhile, a dramatic scene unfolded outside the courtroom when the aunt of the late Stephen King Amoah performed rituals by breaking eggs and invoking curses on those she believes were behind his death.

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 responsible for his death, the gods shouldn’t spare anyone involved in his murder.”

The case is expected to resume on October 9, 2025.
