A second suspect, identified as Thomas Zigah, also known as Nii Jaase, has been arrested in connection with the alleged murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah. Zigah was arraigned before the Adabraka District Court on Friday, August 22, 2025, adding a new dimension to a case that has drawn widespread public attention.
The prime suspect, Bright Aweh, believed to have been the last person Amoah contacted before his disappearance, had already been remanded into police custody. Aweh first appeared before the same court on Friday, August 8, where the judge ordered a two-week remand to allow for further investigation.
During Zigah’s court appearance, family members of the deceased were present, with some reportedly hurling invectives and threatening to assault the second accused as he was being escorted out of the courtroom. The tense atmosphere reflected the deep anger and sorrow of the family, who were seen hooting at the lawyers of the second accused as they left the premises.
Steffen King Amoah, 38, was reported missing on July 3, 2025, after he left home to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate. His partially burnt body was tragically discovered five days later, on July 9, at Abuom Junction, near Kwabenya, sparking an intensive manhunt and investigation by the police.
With the arrest and remand of a second suspect, the police are now working to piece together the events that led to the Immigration Officer’s tragic death. Both suspects, Bright Aweh and Thomas Zigah, will remain in police custody as investigations continue.
