Adabraka: The Adabraka District Court One has remanded two men into police custody following the murder of a Lebanese national at East Legon on June 20, 2025. The accused, Paul Twumasi Ankrah, 39, and Asiedu Henning, also known as Nana Kofi Anum, 32, had their pleas deferred and are scheduled to reappear in court on July 8.

According to Ghana News Agency, police investigations revealed that the victim, Omar Mikati, aged 58, was found in a pool of blood at his residence. A Crime Scene Management Unit (CSMU) team collected forensic evidence from the scene and recovered a GCB ATM card bearing Ankrah’s name. Notably, the victim’s Samsung phone was missing.

Following a tip-off, Ankrah was arrested at Samsam-Medie. During his interrogation, he implicated Henning in the crime. On July 2, Henning was apprehended during an intelligence-led operation in Kutunse. He later led police to a location where a knife, allegedly disposed of by the suspects, was retrieved.

Police confirmed that the knife is undergoing forensic analysis. Meanwhile, Mikati’s body was transferred to the morgue for autopsy to further aid the investigation.
