The family of the late Immigration Officer, Stephen King Amoah, has issued a stern warning that they may take matters into their own hands if any member of their household suffers harm in connection with the ongoing murder trial.
The development follows the arrest of another suspect linked to the alleged killing of the 38-year-old officer. Tensions flared outside the Adabraka District Court on Friday, August 22, 2025, as police struggled to escort the accused persons, Bright Aweh and Thomas Zigah, into custody.
Speaking to journalists, an in-law of the deceased, Yaw Mensah, accused the police of shielding the suspects and warned of retaliation should justice be compromised.
“We will go after the suspects if any of our family members are harmed after judgment is pronounced. We have taken notice of everyone associated with the suspects. If the police keep shielding them by collecting money, we will deal with them ourselves,” Mensah declared.
In court, the case was adjourned to September 4, 2025, to allow for further investigations, as one more suspect remains at large.
Both Aweh, the prime suspect, and Zigah, also known as Nii Dzaase, appeared before the judge. Zigah’s lawyer, Gordon Aboagye, requested that his client—who was reportedly in pain and limping—be referred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, citing ineffective treatment at the Police Hospital.
Prosecutors opposed the plea, arguing that the Police Hospital had the necessary facilities to manage his condition. The judge ruled that the defence must file a formal application if they insisted on a transfer.
The case is scheduled to continue on September 4, 2025.
