The partly burnt body of a 38-year-old immigration officer, Stephen King Amoah, has been found near Abuom Junction, close to Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region, five days after he was reported missing.
The deceased, also known as Nana Kofi, was last seen on July 3, 2025, after leaving his residence at Gye Nyame House, Musuku Junction, Kwabenya, to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate.
Alarmed by his prolonged silence and the inability to reach him by phone, his family filed a missing persons complaint with the Taifa Police on July 4, 2025, around 4:30 p.m.
Confirming the tragic development to myjoyonline.com on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, his brother, Akwasi Amoako, revealed that Stephen’s body was discovered with multiple stab wounds to the chest and neck.
According to him, “It was partly burnt, as the alleged killers attempted to burn the body, believed to have been wrapped in a woolen carpet, at a spot on the Abuom-Abokobi road.”
The body has since been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary, after being identified by Amoako and other relatives.
Born and raised in Kumasi, the late officer was enlisted into the Ghana Immigration Service in 2013.
According to the report, he left behind a wife, who is a policewoman, and two children.
Meanwhile, a Kwabenya Circuit Court has remanded into custody a 36-year-old man identified as a friend of the deceased.
