Kwaw Kese Calls for Reopening of Investigation into Fennec Okyere’s Murder as Police Reportedly Close Case

Nearly twelve years after the brutal murder of Fennec Okyere, the CEO of Madtime Entertainment, the investigation into his death has reportedly been closed by the Ghana Police Service without a single successful prosecution. Rapper Kwaw Kese, a close associate and former talent managed by Okyere, revealed this development during a recent interview on Hitz FM on February 16, 2026. Okyere was killed by unidentified assailants at his residence on March 13, 2014, a tragedy that sent shockwaves through the Ghanaian entertainment industry and remains one of its most high-profile cold cases.

Throughout the decade-long ordeal, the quest for justice has faced significant hurdles and public scrutiny. Shortly after the incident in 2014, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, popularly known as Bullgod, was arrested as a lead suspect. However, the state eventually declined to pursue charges, leading to his release and leaving the investigation in a state of limbo. Kwaw Kese expressed profound disappointment over the lack of progress and communication from law enforcement, noting that he has received no formal updates in years and was informed that the file had been shuttered.

The rapper’s plea is rooted in a desire for closure, not just for himself but for Okyere’s family and the wider creative community. Kwaw Kese urged the police hierarchy and the state to reconsider the decision to close the case, emphasizing that investigations involving the loss of life should never be abandoned. He maintains that as long as the killers remain at large, the shadow of the 2014 tragedy will continue to hang over the industry. His call for action reflects a broader demand for accountability in criminal cases that often stall over time.

As the 12th anniversary of Fennec Okyere’s death approaches, his legacy as a visionary manager and entrepreneur remains intact, though marred by the absence of legal resolution. The reported closure of the case marks a somber milestone in a saga that has tested the patience of the Ghanaian public. For Kwaw Kese and many others in the entertainment sector, the fight for justice remains a priority, as they continue to hope that new evidence or a renewed commitment from the state will finally bring Okyere’s killers to book.
