The man at the centre of the alleged murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah has been remanded into police custody for two weeks.

Bright Aweh, believed to be the last person Amoah contacted before his disappearance, appeared before the Adabraka District Court on Friday, August 8, 2025.

The prosecution had prayed that fresh information had come to the attention of investigators for which reason the remand warrant ought to be renewed.

The court has since adjourned the case to August 22, 2025, to allow police investigations to continue.

Amoah, 38, was reported missing on July 3 after leaving home to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate.

His partially burnt body was discovered five days later at Abuom Junction, near Kwabenya.

The case, initially treated as a kidnapping, has been reclassified as murder and transferred to the Adabraka District Court.

The Criminal Investigation Department revealed disturbing details surrounding the murder, and Aweh has been formally charged with murder.
