At a press briefing on Monday, August 4, 2025, the Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, provided details that painted a chilling picture of the crime.

According to COP Yaako, Amoah left his home on the night of July 3, 2025, after reportedly receiving photos of cash bundles from the suspect, Bright Aweh, who had promised to repay a debt.

When Amoah did not return home and his phone became unreachable, a missing person report was filed on July 4, 2025.

Police investigations quickly led them to Bright Aweh, who was arrested on July 6, 2025.

During interrogation, he admitted to meeting Amoah and handing him GH¢500,000 in cash, claiming GH¢200,000 was to settle a debt and the rest was to be held by Amoah.
