According to distraught relatives, Stephen left home that evening after receiving a phone call from a close friend who allegedly owed him GH¢200,000.

The friend reportedly invited him to meet at Ashongman Estates, claiming he was ready to settle the debt.

Stephen informed his wife of the meeting before leaving home, but that was the last time anyone saw or heard from him in person.

Later that night, Stephen’s wife, who was away at the time, received a message from her husband’s phone.

The message claimed he had returned home safely with the money. However, the tone and wording felt off, unlike Stephen’s usual communication style.

Concerned, she asked Stephen’s brother to check on the house. When he arrived, Stephen was nowhere to be found.

A police report was filed, and an investigation was initiated. In an update on the matter, Stephen's relatives have confirmed that the body found was that of their relative.
