Suspect allegedly confesses in Oyibi missing person case

A suspect in the Oyibi missing person case has allegedly confessed to killing 27-year-old Theophilus Ashitey Amarh. According to a report by Crime Check Ghana shared on May 1, 2026, the suspect, identified as Wisdom Tetteh, admitted to killing the victim and burning his body in a vehicle in a bush near the University of Ghana, Legon. Theophilus reportedly went missing after leaving his home in Oyibi in the Greater Accra Region to meet individuals interested in buying a car he had advertised for sale. Earlier, the Ghana Police Service revealed that suspected bloodstains were found in the room of the key suspect, raising fears of foul play. Police investigations indicate that the victim was last seen at the suspect’s residence at Saasabi, where he had gone to meet a prospective buyer introduced to him. The case dates back to April 7, 2026, when a report was made that the victim had left home a day earlier to sell his Hyundai Elantra but never returned. A follow-up operation on April 10 led officers back to the suspect’s residence, where the suspected bloodstains were discovered. The scene was processed by the National Crime Scene Management Team with support from the Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the CID Headquarters. Police had earlier declared the suspect wanted as investigations continue.
