The Kaneshie District Court has become the focal point of a deeply troubling case involving the alleged murder of Ghana Immigration Service officer, Stephen King Amoah. Bright Aweh, also known as Robert or Highest Bright, has been arraigned before the court on a provisional charge of murder. The tragic circumstances surrounding Mr. Amoah’s death have left his family, friends, and the nation grappling with grief and demanding justice.
The Allegations and Court Proceedings
The accused, Bright Aweh, appeared before the Kaneshie District Court on charges related to the death of Mr. Amoah. During the proceedings, his plea was not taken, and he was remanded into police custody to allow for further investigations. Aweh is expected to reappear before the court on August 8, 2025.
Chief Inspector Apewa Achana, who leads the prosecution, emphasized the need for additional time to thoroughly investigate the matter. The court granted this request, ensuring that law enforcement has the opportunity to uncover all relevant details surrounding this tragic incident.

The gruesome discovery has raised questions about the circumstances leading to his death and prompted calls for swift justice.
Investigations by law enforcement revealed that Aweh was likely the last person in contact with Mr. Amoah prior to his disappearance. This connection led to Aweh’s subsequent arrest by police as part of their ongoing inquiry into the case.
