The partly burnt body of a 38-year-old immigration officer has been discovered at Abuom Junction near Kwabenya in the Greater Accra region, five days after the family declared him missing.
The frustrated family of Steffen King Amoah, also known as Nana Kofi, lodged a complaint with the Taifa Police on July 4, 2025, at about 4:30 p.m., after several attempts to reach the deceased on his cell phone proved futile.
He is said to have left his Gye Nyame House, Musuku Junction at Kwabenya, to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate, also in Accra, for a discussion.
Steffen King Amoah was declared missing on July 3, 2025 by the family. His brother, Akwasi Amoako, who confirmed the death to the media, says Amoah’s body was riddled with stab wounds in the chest and neck.
According to reports, he was partly burnt as his alleged the killers attempted to burn the body believed to have been wrapped in a woolen carpet at a spot on the Abuom-Abokobi road.
According to family, he was enlisted into the Ghana Immigration Service in 2013.
The body has since been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary after being identified by Amoako and other relatives.
Amoah, a popular figure at the Sports Department of the Ghana Immigration Service headquarters, married his sweetheart, a policewoman, on March 28, 2018, at Tafo Nhyiaeso in Kumasi. The couple are blessed with a 4-year-old boy and a 5-month-old baby.
Meanwhile, a Kwabenya Circuit Court on Monday, July 8, 2025, remanded into custody, a 36-year-old man identified as a friend of Amoah.
