In a video on X, late Stephen King Amoah’s mother was inconsolable as she wept over the tragic passing of her son at the ceremonial grounds.
Even though people who attended the funeral wore red and black clothes to signify that they were mourning, the mother of the deceased wore a black and white attire.
She sat in front and was crying. She kept mentioning the name of the suspected killer and saying he had worried her.
“Benson you have worried me,” she said.
Those sitting by her were also crying, but often consoled her. Some funeral attendants who had possibly just arrived walked to greet the family of the deceased.

Stephen King Amoah's murder
The late Immigration Officer was reported missing for days after he left his house on July 3, 2025, to reclaim GH¢200,000 from his friend, Bright Aweh.
He was to meet his friend at Aggie’s Spot in Ashongman Estate to take the money he had given to him to secure employment for some individuals following the NDC's election victory.
After several days of searching for his whereabouts, the Ghana Police Service discovered Stephen King Amoah's charred remains in a gutter near GBC Satellite, opposite Comet Estate at Abuom Junction, near Kwabenya, on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
The Ghana Police Service later arrested Bright Aweh, the friend he had left home to meet before going missing, as the main suspect in the crime.
