The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with the shooting that led to the death of a 54-year-old man and injured his wife at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, near Weija.
The suspects have been identified as Adams Adder Almeida and his brother, Bala Bilyon.
According to a police statement dated August 9, 2026, the arrests were made with assistance from the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET), following the incident on August 6.
Police said the Weija Police received information that a man and his wife had been shot and wounded at Beach Drive Estate and required police assistance.
A team from the Division proceeded to the scene, where they found Rahman Mohamed, 54, and his wife, Christiana Fosu, 53, with gunshot wounds outside their four-bedroom apartment.
The couple was subsequently taken to Finney Hospital in Weija for medical attention. However, Rahman Mohamed was pronounced dead on arrival.
His wife, Christiana Fosu, was referred to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, where she remains on admission receiving treatment.
The body of the deceased has since been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary pending autopsy.
Suspect allegedly confesses
The police said during interrogation, Adams Adder Almeida allegedly admitted to shooting Rahman Mohamed and his wife on August 6.
According to the police account, the suspect claimed he was motivated by his perception that the deceased had repeatedly described him as “lazy and useless”, which he said had affected him mentally.
Police said Adams subsequently led investigators to his brother’s room at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, where a pistol believed to have been used in the shooting was retrieved.
The weapon was allegedly found concealed beneath a wardrobe belonging to his brother, Bala Bilyon, who works with the deceased.
Investigations, according to the police, further established that Adams Adder Almeida and Bala Bilyon reside together in the same room at Tuba.
Police search for another suspect
The police said Adams also told investigators that the pistol had allegedly been given to him by his friend, identified as Gideon.
He subsequently led investigators to Gideon’s residence at Tuba, but the suspect was not found at home.
Police said efforts were ongoing to locate Gideon to assist with the investigation.
Meanwhile, Bala Bilyon has been arrested and is assisting the police with investigations into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
The Accra Regional Police Command said investigations are continuing.
