Immigration officer murder case: Police forward duplicate docket to AG

Ghanaian police have forwarded the case file on the killing of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah to the Office of the Attorney General, signalling the next phase of legal scrutiny in a case that has gripped national attention.

The Attorney General’s advice is now required before further action can be taken, the Ghana Police Service has confirmed.

The two suspects, Bright Aweh—also known as Highest Bright—and Thomas Zigah, reappeared before the Adabraka District Court under heavy security.
However, the court did not sit on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, leading to the matter being pushed to 3 December 2025.

Both men have legal representation, but their pleas remain reserved as they face counts of conspiracy to murder and murder.

Amoah was last seen on 3 July 2025 after leaving home to meet Aweh at Ashongman Estates.
His body was later discovered in a drain at Abom Junction, days after frantic searches began.

Investigators traced the meeting to a WhatsApp exchange between the two men, in which pictures of large sums of cash were shared, allegedly connected to efforts to settle a debt.

Aweh had claimed he handed Amoah GHS 500,000 to resolve the debt and allow him to keep the remainder.
But police said his narrative was riddled with contradictions.

A breakthrough came when officers searching Aweh’s home discovered a bloodstained camouflage cloth and a fufu pestle wrapped in polythene, items believed to be linked to the killing.

Zigah was arrested weeks later following what authorities described as “painstaking investigations.”

With the duplicate docket now before the Attorney General, both the court and police will wait for formal advice on the next steps in the prosecution.

The two accused men were quickly escorted away by security personnel after the brief court appearance.
