An Accra High Court has ordered that businessman John Kofi Effah be held in custody. This is while he faces a murder charge.
He is accused of killing his girlfriend, Vivian Abena Owusu. The incident allegedly took place at her home in East Legon.
Court filings indicate the alleged murder occurred on April 28, 2026. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
The case has been brought before the Accra High Court. A judicial service document confirms Mr Effah was remanded.
Mr Effah's alleged actions led to the death of Ms Owusu. Further details of the incident are expected as the investigation proceeds.
The court's decision means Mr Effah will remain in jail until his next appearance. This allows the prosecution time to build its case.
The Ghana Police Service is continuing its work on the case. They are gathering evidence related to the alleged murder.
This matter will proceed through the court system. The Judicial Service will oversee the legal process.
