The Accra Regional Police Command (RPC), in collaboration with the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET), is currently engaged in a complex investigation centering on the alleged murder of Mohammed Rahman, a 54-year-old man and the shooting of his wife, Christiana Fosu, at Tuba, near Weija in the Greater Accra Region. The incident, which occurred on August 6, 2026, at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, has triggered a significant police operation aimed at uncovering the truth behind the tragedy. Two brothers, Adams Adder Almeida and Bala Bilyon, have been remanded into custody following their appearance before the court, with the case adjourned to August 24, 2026, for further proceedings. The initial report, disseminated by Adom Online, details the circumstances surrounding the alleged murder and the subsequent arrest of the two suspects.
According to police statements, Adams Adder Almeida admitted during interrogation that he shot Rahman and his wife. Investigators allege that the suspect’s reported motive stemmed from a perceived pattern of ‘laziness’ and ‘uselessness’ he attributed to the deceased, a sentiment he claimed significantly impacted his mental state. The police investigation has revealed a possible connection between the suspects and the crime scene, specifically the shared residence – the room where they reside – at Beach Drive Estate. A pistol believed to have been utilized in the shooting was recovered from beneath a wardrobe within Bala Bilyon’s room, according to a police report. This discovery significantly strengthens the investigation’s focus on the suspect’s potential involvement.
Following the recovery of the pistol, police officials identified Gideon, a person reportedly connected to the incident, as a key figure. Police investigations have led to the arrest of Gideon and are actively pursuing his whereabouts, with efforts underway to locate him and determine his role in the investigation. The initial report indicates that the two brothers were initially brought in for questioning following the discovery of the pistol and the alleged connection to the shooting. The police have stated that the investigation is ongoing, with efforts focused on identifying the deceased’s full background and any potential relationships that could be relevant to the case.
The initial police report describes the shooting as occurring at approximately 6:00 PM on August 6, 2026, at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, near Weija, where Mohammed Rahman, 54, and his wife, Christiana Fosu, 53, were allegedly shot outside their four-bedroom apartment. The Weija Police Force responded swiftly to the scene, finding the couple with gunshot wounds and immediately transporting them to Finney Hospital, Weja, for immediate medical attention. Mr. Rahman was pronounced dead upon arrival, while Mrs. Fosu is currently receiving treatment at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, where she remains in critical condition. The body of the deceased has been transferred to the Police Hospital Mortuary for autopsy, with the forensic team continuing their investigation to determine the precise cause of death. The authorities are emphasizing that the investigation is being treated as a serious criminal matter and are committed to pursuing all leads to ensure justice is served.
The Accra Regional Police Command, utilizing support from the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET), is coordinating all investigative efforts.

The case is currently classified as a homicide investigation, and the police are committed to uncovering the truth behind the shooting and determining the circumstances surrounding the death of Mohammed Rahman and his wife.
