In a shocking development, the domestic worker of the late Dr. Christopher Adu Boahen has been apprehended in connection to his murder. Dr. Boahen, renowned for being the son of the late Professor Albert Adu Boahen, a prominent political figure in Ghana’s history, tragically lost his life in what appears to be a robbery at his residence in East Legon, Accra.
Dr. Boahen, who lived with physical disabilities, was a significant figure in Ghanaian society, known for his contributions to various fields. The incident has sent shockwaves through the nation, especially considering the esteemed family background of the victim.
According to reports, the suspect was found in possession of Dr. Boahen’s personal belongings, including his phone, laptop, and wallet, leading to his arrest. Charles Adu Boahen, brother of the deceased and a former Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, confirmed the arrest on Wednesday.
“The guy has been caught. He was still in possession of Kwaku’s phone, laptop, and wallet when he was apprehended. He was his last house help. He started working for Kwaku on the 6th of March. He has confessed,” stated Charles Adu Boahen.
Acknowledging the efforts of the National Security team, Charles Adu Boahen expressed gratitude for their diligent detective work in bringing the suspect to justice. While withholding further details at this time, he assured that more information would be disclosed when possible.
“The National Security team has been phenomenal and did some serious detective work. I can’t give any further details for now but I will do so as soon as I am able to. But at least now we have closure and can lay our brother to rest in peace,” he added.
The arrest of the suspect brings a sense of relief to the family and the community, albeit amidst profound sorrow over the loss of Dr. Christopher Adu Boahen. As investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding his untimely demise, Ghanaians await further developments in this tragic case.
