Three individuals have been arrested over the alleged lynching of a 26-year-old Liberian national, Austin Tengeeh, at Sakumono in the Greater Accra Region.
The Sakumono District Police Command confirmed that the suspects — Francis Amuzu, 44; William Adison, 36; and Vincent Adzikah, 34 — are in custody assisting with investigations.
According to police, the incident occurred on February 27, 2026, near a facility of the Electricity Company of Ghana at Lashibi.
A situational report indicated that the Sakumono District Patrol Team received a distress call from an unidentified individual who reported that a man had been attacked by a group of residents in the area.
Officers who responded to the scene found the victim unconscious with visible signs of assault. He was later identified as Austin Tengeeh, a Liberian national.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the mob allegedly mistook him for a thief.
The victim was rushed to the Sakumono Community Hospital for medical attention but was pronounced dead on arrival. His body has since been deposited at the hospital morgue, while the appropriate diplomatic processes are being followed.
Meanwhile, the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team from the National Police Headquarters has launched a search for other suspects believed to have conspired with the three arrested individuals.
Police say investigations are ongoing and have assured the public that all those involved will be apprehended and made to face the law.
