Sakumono murder: Key suspect arrested from his hideout

The key suspect in the Sakumono murder case, Samuel Osei Anto Christopher, has been apprehended by the Ghana Police Service. The arrest took place on Sunday, November 1, following a manhunt for the suspect who had been on the run since the incident on Friday, October 30, 2026. The victims, Irene Atubiga, 47, and her uncle George Atubiga, 57, were reportedly killed at their residence in NTHC Estate, Sakumono.

The Police claim that the killings may have been sparked by a financial disagreement between George and the suspect, as George allegedly owed Osei Anto Christopher GH¢500,000 which he failed to repay. Osei Anto Christopher, accompanied by a woman named Beatrice Mumuni, reportedly visited the victims' residence on the morning of the incident to demand repayment.

A dispute arose during the encounter, leading to the suspect shooting George and Irene. Beatrice Mumuni, 47, was also arrested as an accomplice to the crime.
