Police announce GH¢100,000 reward in Sakumono double murder probe

Police have arrested a 47-year-old woman in connection with the killing of two relatives at NTHC Estate, Sakumono, and declared the principal suspect wanted.

The woman, identified as Beatrice Mumuni, is believed to have accompanied Samuel Christopher Osei Anto to the victims’ residence before the killings, according to a police statement. Police are seeking Osei Anto to assist with their investigations and are offering a GH¢100,000 reward for credible information leading to his arrest.

The victims were identified as George Atuguba, 57, and his 47-year-old niece, Irene Atuguba. They were killed on Friday, October 30, 2026.

Police have urged anyone with information about Osei Anto’s whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or call the emergency numbers 191 or 18555.

The arrest follows preliminary findings that the killings may have been linked to a financial dispute involving George Atuguba, who allegedly owed GH¢500,000. Police earlier said Osei Anto and Mumuni reportedly went to the residence to demand repayment. A misunderstanding allegedly followed, and the two relatives were shot.

The circumstances surrounding the killings remain under investigation. Police have appealed to the public for assistance as they continue efforts to locate Osei Anto and establish what happened.
