In the city of Accra, Ghana, a tragic incident unfolded on Friday, October 30, 2026, at the NTHC Estate in Sakumono, resulting in the death of 47-year-old Irene Atubiga, an entrepreneur and CEO of Kussa Shea Bliss, a skincare company specializing in shea butter-based products. She was found alongside her 57-year-old uncle, George Atubiga. Irene was identified as a mother of two young boys. Her brother later shared a heartbreaking tribute, describing the shooting as a gruesome murder.
Prior to her business endeavors, Irene had spent over a decade in the banking sector, primarily working in quality assurance and customer experience roles at Ecobank Ghana. She then transitioned into entrepreneurship, founding Kussa Shea Bliss in 2010, with the aim of creating a premium skincare brand based on shea butter and traditional production knowledge. The company sources its shea butter from women's cooperatives in Northern Ghana, focusing on empowering women and promoting sustainable wealth creation.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are believed to be linked to a financial dispute between George and Samuel Christopher Osei Anto, a man who allegedly lent George GH¢500,000 but failed to repay the debt. On the morning of the incident, Osei Anto, accompanied by his girlfriend Beatrice Mumuni, reportedly arrived at the victims' residence to demand repayment. Following a misunderstanding, Osei Anto allegedly shot and killed both George and Irene.
The Sakumono District Police Command received information about the incident and promptly dispatched officers to the scene, where they found the victims lying in pools of blood. Both were rushed to a hospital, but their lives could not be saved. Their bodies were subsequently transferred to the Police Hospital Mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
Beatrice Mumuni has been arrested and is believed to have led Osei Anto to the victims' residence before the shooting. Osei Anto has been declared wanted, with a GH¢100,000 reward offered for credible information leading to his arrest. Police investigations into the incident are ongoing.
