The likes of Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin and Nandom MP Ambrose Dery were present at the funeral.

Johnson was found dead on Sunday, February 11, 2024. Five persons were first arrested in the immediate aftermath of the death of a businessman.

However, the latest evidence by the prosecution in the case of the slain businessman outlined two new prime suspects: the former human resource manager of the Royal Cosy Hills Hotel and his girlfriend.

Eliasah Mahama Akpanyikye is said to have conspired with his girlfriend, Belinda Miller, to kill Johnson.

According to reports, Akpanyikye was sacked for allegedly having inappropriate sexual relationships with some staff.

According to the prosecution, records on February 10, 2024, showed that Akpanyikye called Miller many times, asking her where he could find the master key to Johnson’s room.
