The 50-year-old MP for Abuakwa North MP was reportedly stabbed multiple times during the attack at about 1:45 am in his residence at Shiashie, a suburb of Accra, on February 9, 2016.

It is believed the killers used a ladder to help them scale the wall and get into the house. The walls of the house have electrical razor wires.

There were bloodstains on the walls and footprints, which are believed to be those of the attackers, in the backyard.

A few days later after his murder, a suspect, by name Daniel Asiedu was arrested with one Vincent Bosso.

Both suspects were charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, while Asiedu was charged separately with murder and robbery.

The two pleaded not guilty to the offences.

They have since been appearing before the Accra high court.
