Three individuals have been arrested in connection with 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 currently in custody assisting with investigations.
According to police, the incident occurred on February 27, 2026, near a facility of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) 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 and severely beaten by a group of angry residents in the area.
Officers immediately proceeded to the scene, where they found the victim lying unconscious with visible signs of assault around his neck and head. He was later identified as Austin Tengeeh.
Police said preliminary investigations suggest that the mob may have mistaken the victim 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 necessary diplomatic protocols are being observed due to his nationality.
Meanwhile, the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team from the National Police Headquarters has launched a manhunt for other individuals believed to have conspired with the three arrested suspects.
Police say investigations are ongoing and have assured the public that all persons found to be involved in the incident will be apprehended and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
