- The case has drawn national attention, with family members expressing deep grief and demanding justice both legally and spiritually.
The murder trial of immigration officer Stephen King Amoah took a dramatic turn at the Adabraka District Court when a grieving aunt of the deceased performed rituals and cast curses on the accused. The emotional outburst came as the two suspects, Bright Aweh and Thomas Zigah, appeared in court to face charges related to Amoah’s death.
The aunt, visibly distraught, smashed eggs and called upon spiritual forces to punish those she believes are responsible. Her actions reflected the depth of the family’s pain and their belief that justice must go beyond the courtroom.
Amoah, aged 38, was declared missing on July 3 after leaving home to meet a friend. His charred body was discovered six days later near Kwabenya, triggering a police investigation that led to multiple arrests. Authorities have since confirmed that a third suspect died in custody following a brief illness.
The case has gripped public attention, not only for its brutality but also for the emotional toll it has taken on the officer’s family. Relatives have attended every hearing, demanding accountability and expressing frustration over the pace of proceedings.
The court has adjourned the case to October 9, as investigations continue. Meanwhile, the family’s ritual act has reignited conversations about grief, justice, and the role of spiritual traditions in Ghana’s legal landscape.
