Immigration Officer’s Aunt Invokes Curses on Suspects
A dramatic scene unfolded at the Adabraka District Court in Accra. The aunt invokes curses on suspects during the murder trial. She performed a ritual by breaking eggs and invoking powerful curses on those she believes are responsible for her nephew’s death. This shocking incident occurred as the two suspects, Bright Aweh and Thomas Zigah, appeared in court. They face trial in connection with Stephen King Amoah’s killing. The emotional ritual immediately captured public attention. It shows the family’s pain and anger. This public display, therefore, highlights a deep desire for justice outside the formal legal system. After all, the family wants a swift resolution to this tragic case.
The aunt cursed, “Anyone responsible for his death should also suffer the same fate. All your generation will suffer the same fate; the gods should deal ruthlessly with anyone responsible for his death, the gods shouldn’t spare anyone involved in his murder.” This public statement was a powerful moment. Consequently, it resonated with many people who feel frustrated with the pace of justice.
Amoah, who was 38, went missing on July 3, 2025. He had left home to meet a friend. Days later, police found his charred body. His body was found on July 9 at Abuom Junction near Kwabenya. This discovery, therefore, sparked a major police manhunt. The police investigation led to the arrest of the two suspects. In addition, the case has attracted significant public attention, and so family members have expressed deep grief and anger.
The court has now adjourned the case until October 9. This gives investigators more time. Police have confirmed a third suspect linked to the case died on August 23, 2025. He had a short illness. The emotional scene at court, where the aunt invokes curses on suspects, shows the intense feelings involved. It is a powerful display of a family’s desperation for justice. The community, furthermore, watches closely as the legal process unfolds. They hope it will lead to answers and a resolution for this tragic crime.
