Police Apprehend Three Suspects Following Fatal Lynching of Liberian National in Sakumono

In a swift response to a violent mob action, the Sakumono District Police Command has arrested three individuals in connection with the alleged lynching of a 26-year-old Liberian national, Austin Tengeeh. The incident, which occurred in Lashibi within the Greater Accra Region on February 27, 2026, has once again brought the issue of vigilante justice to the forefront of national discourse. The victim was reportedly attacked by a group of residents near the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) offices, leading to fatal injuries that have shocked the local community and the Liberian expatriate population in Ghana. The three suspects currently in police custody have been identified as Francis Amuzu, 44; William Adison, 36; and Vincent Adzikah, 34. According to preliminary reports, the police were alerted to the ongoing assault and rushed to the scene, where they discovered Tengeeh lying unconscious. Although he was quickly rushed to a medical facility for treatment, he was tragically pronounced dead upon arrival. The severity of the injuries sustained during the attack underscores the brutal nature of the confrontation, though the specific circumstances that led to the mob's actions remain under investigation by the regional authorities. Beyond the initial arrests, the Sakumono District Police have launched a comprehensive manhunt for additional suspects believed to have played a role in the killing. Law enforcement officials have emphasized that they are pursuing all leads to ensure that everyone involved in this act of lawlessness faces the full weight of the law. This case serves as a grim reminder of the dangers associated with 'mob justice' and the importance of allowing the judicial system to handle criminal allegations. As investigations continue, the police are calling on members of the public who may have information or video footage of the incident to come forward and assist in the pursuit of justice for Austin Tengeeh.
