n Two Brothers Arrested Over Fatal Shooting of Man, Injury to Wife at Tuba

The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two brothers in connection with the alleged murder of a 54-year-old man and the shooting and injury of his wife at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, near Weija.

The suspects have been identified as Adams Adder Almeida and his brother, Bala Bilyon. Their arrests were made with assistance from the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET), according to a police statement dated August 9, 2026.

The incident occurred on Thursday, August 6, 2026, after the Weija Police received information that a man and his wife had been shot at Beach Drive Estate.

A police team from the Weija Division was dispatched to the scene, where officers found Rahman Mohamed, 54, and his wife, Christiana Fosu, 53, suffering from gunshot wounds outside their four-bedroom apartment.

The couple was immediately conveyed to Finney Hospital in Weija for medical attention.

However, Rahman Mohamed was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. His wife, Christiana Fosu, was referred to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, where she remains on admission and is responding to treatment, according to the police.

The body of the deceased has since been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary, pending an autopsy.

Suspect allegedly confesses

The police said that during interrogation, Adams Adder Almeida allegedly admitted to shooting Rahman Mohamed and his wife.

According to the suspect’s account, he was motivated by his perception that the deceased had repeatedly described him as “lazy and useless.” He allegedly told investigators that those remarks had affected him mentally.

Following the interrogation, Adams allegedly led investigators to his brother Bala Bilyon’s room at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, where investigators retrieved a pistol believed to have been used in the shooting.

Police said the firearm was allegedly concealed beneath the wardrobe in Bala Bilyon’s room.

Further investigations established that Adams Adder Almeida and Bala Bilyon reside together in the same room at Tuba.

Police search for alleged firearm source

Adams also allegedly told investigators that the pistol had been given to him by a friend identified as Gideon.

Based on information provided by the suspect, investigators proceeded to Gideon’s residence at Tuba in an attempt to locate him.

However, Gideon was not at home when the police arrived.

The police said efforts are ongoing to locate him to assist with the investigations.

Meanwhile, Bala Bilyon has been arrested and is being interrogated as police continue to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and the possible involvement of other persons.

The Accra Regional Police Command says investigations are ongoing.
