The Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service has reopened investigations into four high-profile murder and disappearance cases. These cases have remained unresolved by the police until now.
The Director General of the CID, Commissioner of Police Lydia Yaako Donkor, shared this information at a press briefing. The briefing took place in Accra on Monday, March 9, 2026.
The reopened cases include the killing of Nana Pooley, who was a fan of the Asante Kotoko football club. His case is one of the four that will be looked at again.
Commissioner Lydia Yaako Donkor stated that the Police Cold Case unit is responsible for this renewed investigative effort. This unit focuses on cases that have gone cold over time.
The specific details of the other three cases were not fully disclosed at the briefing. However, they are also described as significant murder and disappearance incidents.
The Ghana Police Service aims to bring closure to the families affected by these cases. Reopening old investigations can sometimes lead to new evidence or leads.
This action shows a commitment to pursuing justice, even for cases that have been unsolved for a long time. The public is expected to be updated on any progress.
