In an interview with Citi News, a nephew of the deceased, Kojo Benneh, expressed confidence in the police’s handling of the case.

“We are trusting that police service will bring their professionalism to bear in their investigations so that in a very short time, we will get to know who the actual perpetrators of this crime are.”

Prof. Benneh was found dead in a pool of blood in his Adjirigano residence in Accra on Saturday.
