The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with the death of a mobile money (MoMo) vendor, Christian Nana Amponsah, whose body was discovered at a guest house in Kasoa in the Central Region.
The suspects, identified as 59-year-old Felicia Osei Appiah, 24-year-old Clement Opoku Yeboah and a female juvenile, were reportedly arrested on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, as police investigations into the incident continued.
According to reports, Amponsah was found dead in a room at a guest house near Kasoa Second. The discovery reportedly followed concerns raised by the facility’s manager after the occupants of a room failed to emerge when their booking period had ended.
The guest house manager told police that the deceased and the juvenile had booked a room for two hours. When the period elapsed without either occupant coming out, the manager reportedly checked the room and found Amponsah lying motionless in a pool of blood.
The incident was subsequently reported to the police, who visited the scene to begin investigations.
Officers who arrived at the guest house reportedly found the deceased lying face down, with bedsheets, curtains and pillows covering the body. The circumstances in which the items came to be placed over him were not immediately established in the available reports.
Following the initial examination of the scene, the body was conveyed to the Police Hospital Mortuary in Accra for preservation and an autopsy to help establish the cause of death.
The three suspects were taken into police custody and were reportedly assisting investigators with inquiries into the incident. Police were working to establish the sequence of events leading to Amponsah’s death and determine the respective roles, if any, of those arrested.
Authorities were also expected to pursue the necessary legal procedures to bring the suspects before a court.
The incident has drawn attention to the safety of mobile money operators, who regularly handle financial transactions and cash as part of their work. However, the motive for the alleged killing had not been confirmed, and it would be premature to conclude that the victim’s occupation was connected to the incident.
The arrest of the three suspects represents a development in the investigation, but their arrest does not establish guilt. The allegations against them must be examined through the judicial process, and each suspect is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty by a competent court.
Investigators are expected to rely on witness accounts, forensic findings and other available evidence to clarify what happened inside the guest house.
Further information from the police is expected to establish the circumstances surrounding the death and the legal action to be taken as the investigation progresses.
