Two Nigerians have been arrested in Ghana over the alleged murder of a compatriot in Tamale. The suspects, Daniel Victor Eze and David Oko Ewa, were apprehended at Tatale on the Ghana-Togo border following intelligence-led operations.
According to reports, the body of 36-year-old Nkemujika Uzorchuku Eze was discovered in his bedroom on Saturday, July 11, 2026, in Sanzirigu, a suburb of Tamale. The police investigation revealed that the murder was linked to a dispute over proceeds from alleged internet fraud. It is worth noting that internet fraud, also known as “yahoo-yahoo,” has been a growing concern in Ghana in recent years, with many young people falling prey to the scams.
The Northern Regional Police Command has been working to crack down on internet fraud and its associated crimes. In a statement, the police acknowledged the arrests and promised to bring the perpetrators to justice. The motive behind the murder is still unclear, but the police are working to gather more evidence and conduct further investigations.
As Ghana continues to grapple with the issue of internet fraud, the Tamale incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with these scams. The police have been urging citizens to be cautious and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The arrests of Daniel Victor Eze and David Oko Ewa are a step in the right direction, but the police must continue to work tirelessly to bring an end to this menace.
The police investigation into the murder of Nkemujika Uzorchuku Eze is ongoing, and the suspects are expected to appear in court soon. The outcome of the case will be closely watched by the public, as it will provide insight into the Ghanaian justice system’s handling of such crimes.
