Find below the full statement issued by the police on the matter:
The Accra Regional Police Command, with the assistance of the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET), arrested two suspects, Adams Adder Almeida and his brother, Bala Bilyon, in connection with the murder of Mohammed Rahman, 54, and the injury of his wife, Christiana Fosu, 53, at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, near Weija, on 6th August 2026.
On 6th August 2026, the Weija Police received information that a man and his wife had been shot and wounded at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, and required Police assistance. A team from the Division proceeded to the scene and found Rahman Mohamed and Christiana Fosu with gunshot wounds outside their four-bedroom apartment.
The victims were immediately conveyed to Finney Hospital, Weija, where Rahman Mohamed was pronounced dead on arrival. His wife, Christiana Fosu, was referred to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment and is currently on admission, responding to treatment. The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary pending autopsy.
During interrogation, the suspect allegedly admitted to shooting Rahman Mohamed and his wife, Christiana Fosu, on 6th August 2026.
According to the suspect, he was motivated by his perception that the deceased had repeatedly described him as lazy and useless, which he claimed had affected him mentally.
Suspect Adams Adder Almeida subsequently led investigators to his brother’s room at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, where a pistol believed to have been used in the shooting was retrieved. The weapon was allegedly concealed beneath the wardrobe of his brother, Bala Bilyon, who works with the deceased. Investigations further established that Adams Adder Almeida and Bala Bilyon reside together in the same room at Tuba.
Suspect Adams Adder Almeida further told investigators that the pistol was allegedly given to him by his friend, Gideon. He subsequently led the investigative team to Gideon’s residence at Tuba, but he was not found at home. Efforts are ongoing to locate him to assist with investigations.
Meanwhile, Bala Bilyon has also been arrested for interrogation.
