Accra, Feb. 26 – The father of Anthony Kudjo Tettey Ehiamah has called on state authorities to intervene in the investigation into his son’s death, alleging irregularities and lack of transparency in the handling of the case.
Mr Alfred Kwame Tettey Ehiamah, in an emotional account, claimed that developments surrounding the investigation had raised serious concerns about possible manipulation and inconsistencies.
Anthony was found dead on September 18, 2024, at the Oyarifa gravel pit area. His body, according to the family, was discovered at a urinal facility belonging to the Church of Pentecost. The matter was subsequently reported to the Ghana Police Service at the Oyarifa Station, and the remains were conveyed to the Police Hospital Morgue.
Before his death, Anthony worked with Dizengoff Ghana Limited, where he was involved in IT and security systems operations.
Mr Ehiamah said the investigation was led by Chief Inspector Bekoe under the supervision of ASP Zoyah, the Ayi Mensah District Commander. He added that two unidentified men, said to be from a homicide unit, later joined the investigative process.
According to him, six individuals were initially questioned, with two—identified as Obed Sam and Henry Gomashie—emerging as key suspects. He alleged that the suspects contacted the deceased’s widow a day after the incident, claiming they were attempting to reach Anthony on an assignment from their employer, a claim the family later disputed.
The father further revealed that Anthony had reportedly confided in his mother on the day of his death about threats to his life linked to suspicious financial transactions involving his bank account. He alleged that funds connected to the school feeding programme were being channelled through the account, raising concerns about a possible motive.
Mr Ehiamah expressed frustration that, despite these claims, the investigation had not yielded decisive outcomes. He also questioned the handling of the case docket, stating that although investigators indicated it had been forwarded to the Attorney-General’s office, checks by the family suggested otherwise, prompting them to submit a formal petition.
He additionally alleged that the main suspects were granted bail without court proceedings or notification to the family, describing the move as troubling.
The father said he had petitioned the Greater Accra Regional Police Command and the Office of the Inspector-General of Police over suspected professional misconduct and possible concealment of critical information.
He is now appealing to John Dramani Mahama, the Vice President, and the police leadership to ensure an independent inquiry into the matter.
Mr Ehiamah stressed his willingness to cooperate fully with any fresh investigation, insisting that his sole objective was to secure justice for his son. He emphasised that law enforcement authorities must uphold accountability and public trust by ensuring that justice is both done and seen to be done.
Copies of his petition have also been forwarded to the IGP, the Vice President’s Office, EOCO, National Intelligence Bureau, National Security, and the CID.
