Bright Aweh, a lead suspect in the alleged murder of Immigration officer Stephen King Amoah has broken his silence about charges levelled against him.
The suspect, Bright Aweh making an appearance at the Adabraka District Court on Monday, January 19, 2026 insisted of his innocent.
According to Bright Aweh, he is not a murderer and did not kill his friend and believes Ghana’s justice system will find him not guilty of the charges.
Speaking to journalist while being ushered into a police vehicle, Bright Aweh he stated, “I didn’t kill my friend. I’m not a murderer. I will pass through it painfully for justice to be served”.
Bright Aweh is standing trial alongside Thomas Zigah for the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah.
Meanwhile, details of how the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen Amoah at the residence of the main suspect have emerged.
Ghana Chronicles in a post on X on August 26, 2025, detailed, “Bright Aweh, the prime suspect, lived with his wife in a storey building. On the morning of the incident, he sent his wife on an errand, ensuring she was out of the house.
To clear the compound, Bright told his upstairs neighbour, who was leaving for work, not to return early because he planned to fumigate due to a “funny smell.”
When the neighbour offered to chip in for fumigation chemicals, Bright refused, insisting he’d handle it alone, raising suspicions about his true intentions.
Bright also confronted another neighbour about their CCTV facing his compound. The neighbour claimed it was faulty, but later installed a 360° camera that recorded three motorbikes entering Bright’s house before Amoah arrived. Their purpose remains a mystery”.
The further narrated, “Stephen Amoah, the victim, told his nephew he was visiting Bright to collect money owed to him. Tragically, he entered the house and never came out alive.
Later, Bright’s car was seen leaving the compound, its contents unknown, adding to the growing list of suspicious activities.
Disturbingly, WhatsApp messages were sent from Stephen’s phone after the incident, claiming, “I have received the money, my wife is not around, so today I am going to chase girls,” suggesting an attempt to mislead investigators.
Following Bright’s arrest, a second suspect, Thomas Zigah (AKA Nii Jaase), was apprehended. A third suspect was also detained but has since died under unclear circumstances.
The calculated moves by Bright—clearing the house, deflecting neighbours, and the mysterious motorbikes—point to a meticulously planned crime. What drove him to such lengths? The investigation continues”.
Furthermore, the Ghana Police Service has announced that they have discovered weapons used in the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen Amoah at the residence of the main suspect.
According to the police, during a search of the suspect’s home, they found bloodstains in the living room and evidence of a freshly painted wall, apparently intended to conceal the crime.
The Police revealed a separate search at another location uncovered a blood-stained carpet that had been burned and a fufu pestle stained with blood.
COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, the Director General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, detailed that all recovered items were sent for forensic analysis, which confirmed the presence of human blood.
