On Friday, September 8, 2023, a businesswoman was allegedly murdered in Sokoban, a neighborhood of Kumasi, and John Allister, the victim's family's home helper, has been arrested as the main suspect.
The victim has been identified as the wife of Reverend Osei Kofi, a renowned Ghanaian football player.
On September 14, 2023, Samson Kwame Nyamekye, the Ashanti regional correspondent for Peace FM, announced the arrest.
Nyamekye stated that John Allister, a 22-year-old man, is now being held by police and helping them with their on-going investigations. According to accounts, John Allister reportedly fled the crime scene with his madam's car and several of the deceased's belongings.
According to Nyamekye, John also took the victim's phone and used it to conduct chats while pretending to be the victim and send messages to friends and close associates.
"The police really struggled before they were able to go to the house and retrieve the deceased, but I can confirm to Peace News that there is good news that John Allister has been arrested by the police this afternoon, and he is in police custody, assisting in investigations," Nyamekye stated.
In handcuffs, John Allister is seen in a social media video being questioned by an anonymous person about the whereabouts of the stolen goods.
In the video, John admits that everything he took from the victim's home has been sold, and he offers to escort the victim to the buyer of the items since he claims to have the buyer's contact information.
On September 14, 2023, sports presenter Dan Kwaku Yeboah made startling revelations about the incident. He said the woman known as Efia Ahenkan, alias Princess Efia, was the wife of Reverend Osei Kofi's son, who is living in London, United Kingdom. According to Kwaku Yeboah's account of what happened, Princess Efia was allegedly stabbed by her housekeeper, who she had only recently hired.
"The family of Reverend Osei Kofi is in deep sorrow now because the wife of his London- based son has been killed. The man wanted his wife to have the freedom to undertake her business activities so recruited a house help through an agency. The name of the house help was John Allister and he was paying him through the agency. " he said
"On Friday, she was having a conversation with her friend when the said friend heard her scream that she has been stabbed. The phone went dead and her number went off so the following day the friend sent a police team to the house in Kumasi," he said.
Dan Kwaku Yeboah continued by describing the crime scene and the condition of the home at the time the police and the aforementioned friend visited the house.
He went on and said "Upon getting to the house, they realized that the dog in the house had been released and the body of the lady was lying in the garage. The car in the garage had been driven away by the house help."
