The Ghana Police Service has arrested one suspect, Mark Forson, in connection with the robbery murder of Dr. Christopher Adu Boahen in Accra.
Dr. Christopher Adu Boahen was the son of the late Professor Albert Adu Boahen, who was the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate in the 1992 elections, marking Ghana’s return to democracy under the Fourth Republic.
Reports say, armed robbers attacked and killed Dr. Adu Boahen, who was a physically challenged individual, at his residence in East Legon, a suburb of Accra.
The Police in a release(published) yesterday stated that they were informed by some relatives of the deceased about his suspicious death in his room.
In response, a team of Police investigators and crime scene experts visited the location to initiate an investigation, which led to the apprehension of the suspect, Mark Forson.
Forson is currently in custody and will be presented before the court as the investigation progresses.
A Facebook post by his 1995-year group at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where Christopher studied electrical engineering, announced his death, that some “wicked persons” had taken his life.
“Sad to announce the untimely passing of our classmate, Christopher. Wicked persons entered his home, ransacked the place, and robbed him of his life. His home, at East Legon, has been barricaded by the police and declared a crime scene.
“May the soul of our brother find rest in the Lord. Bad news for a Monday morning but let’s keep our spirits up and look forward to a great week,” said the post announcing the death of Christopher Adu Boahen.
Christopher Adu Boahen was a brother to Charles Adu Boahen, who served both as a deputy minister for finance and then as minister of state at the Ministry of Finance in the Akufo-Addo government.
