YEN.com.gh previously reported that Stephen King Amoah's death stemmed from a dispute involving a significant debt Aweh owed to Amoah.

According to court documents and family statements, Aweh allegedly lured Amoah to a remote location under false pretences before committing the act.

Bright Aweh is currently in custody awaiting sentencing set to be delivered on October 9, 2025.

Stephen King's associate vents out on Bright Aweh

The man in his video issued death threats to Bright Aweh, claiming that time in prison "is not a sufficient punishment" for the suspect.

Under Ghanaian law, threatening to take the life of another person is a criminal offence. The Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29) criminalises threats of harm or criminal force.

As such, the remarks made by the man purporting to be Stephen King Amoah's associate amount to an illegality, punishable by law.
