In an incident on August 6, 2026, police arrested two brothers, Adams Adder Almeida and Bala Bilyon, in connection with the murder of 54-year-old Mohammed Rahman and the shooting of his wife, Christiana Fosu, at Beach Drive Estate in Tuba, near Weija. The suspects were apprehended with assistance from the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET).
Upon arrival at the scene, police found Rahman and his wife with gunshot wounds and promptly took them to Finney Hospital. Rahman was pronounced dead upon arrival, while his wife was admitted to Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and is currently responding to treatment.
During interrogation, Adams admitted to shooting both victims, claiming that the deceased had called him "lazy and useless" frequently, which had a negative impact on him. He led investigators to Bala's room, where a concealed pistol was retrieved. The weapon was hidden beneath the wall drop of Bala's room.
Both brothers share a room at Beach Drive Estate, and Bala also works with the deceased. Adams stated that the pistol was given to him by a friend named Gideon. However, Bala Bilyon remains in custody and is cooperating with the investigation, while efforts are underway to locate the third suspect, Gideon.
