Immigration Officer murder case adjourned again

The Kaneshie District Court has once more postponed the murder trial concerning 38-year-old Immigration Officer, Stephen King Amoah, to November 4, 2025, as investigations continue.

The postponement on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, was in response to a request from the police for a warrant to apprehend another suspect who is still at large.

In contrast to earlier sessions, the main suspect, Bright Aweh, along with the second defendant, Thomas Zigah, also referred to as Nii Dzaase, arrived promptly for the hearing.

This time, there was minimal commotion outside the courtroom.

Meanwhile, the friends and family of the deceased officer express their continued hope for justice and have praised the police for their ongoing commitment to the case.
