Accra Police Arrest Two Brothers in Connection with Tuba Estate Murder and Shooting

The Accra Regional Police Command has successfully apprehended two brothers, Adams Adder Almeida and Bala Bilyon, in connection with the fatal shooting of 54-year-old Mohammed Rahman and the attempted murder of his wife, Christiana Fosu. The incident, which has shocked the residents of Beach Drive Estate in Tuba, took place on August 6, 2026. According to police reports, both victims were shot inside their home during the attack. While Mr. Rahman was tragically pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital, his 53-year-old wife remains under medical care for her injuries. During the subsequent interrogation by regional investigators, Adams Adder Almeida reportedly confessed to the shooting. He cited a personal grievance as the primary motive, alleging that Mr. Rahman had previously made derogatory remarks about him. This confession led police to search the residence of the second suspect, Bala Bilyon, where they recovered a pistol believed to be the weapon used in the crime. The recovery of the firearm provides a critical piece of forensic evidence for the ongoing prosecution. The police are now focused on locating a third suspect, identified as Gideon, who managed to flee the scene and remains at large. Authorities have called on the public to provide any relevant information that could assist in tracking down the fugitive to ensure all parties involved face the full rigour of the law. The Accra Regional Police Command has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety of residents within the Tuba enclave and has promised a thorough investigation into any further criminal links. As the community of Beach Drive Estate grapples with the aftermath of this violence, the legal process against the Almeida brothers is expected to proceed once the search for Gideon is concluded. The survival of Christiana Fosu is seen as a vital element for the investigation, as her testimony may provide further clarity on the events leading up to the tragic encounter. The police have urged calm while they finalize the case file for the Office of the Attorney-General.
