The deceased, 38-year-old Steffen King Amoah was reported missing on July 4, 2025
Lucky Dan Mensah, a nephew of 38-year-old Steffen King Amoah, popularly known as Nana Kofi, an immigration officer who was reported missing on July 4, 2025, has recounted his side of the events leading to his uncle’s disappearance and death.
In an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb, Lucky explained that on Thursday, July 3, he was at home with his uncle when the latter received a phone call from a friend named Highest Bright.
“I had received a call from someone in Haatso to come and collect something. On my way back, I called my uncle to check if he was home. He said yes, so I bought food for us to eat together. After we finished eating, he went to the washroom. Before leaving, he asked me to monitor his phone because he was expecting a call from Highest Bright. The call did come through, and I informed him. He returned to answer it.”
Lucky continued to say that, “After the call, I saw him getting dressed. He told me he’d be back shortly as he was going to collect something from the person who had called him. He left around 8 PM.”
According to Lucky, it wasn’t unusual for his uncle to go out and not return home that same day, so he didn’t consider his absence alarming.
However, the next day, Steffen’s wife called Lucky, asking about her husband’s whereabouts.
Lucky told her he had left the house the previous night and hadn’t come back.
“She insisted that her husband had texted her around 8 PM saying he was home,” Lucky recalled, adding that, “But I told her that couldn’t be true because I was home the entire time, and he hadn’t returned. In fact, he didn’t even take his house keys with him. I asked her to forward the message so I could verify the time, and once I did, I was sure he hadn’t been home.”
This discrepancy prompted them to report the incident to the police.
“He told me he was going to meet someone, and that led to the suspect being arrested,” Lucky added.
Lucky further revealed that after the suspect, Highest Bright, was arrested, he was taken to the police station but refused to give a statement until his lawyers arrived.
He was also expecting to be granted bail; however, his request was denied, and he is scheduled to reappear in court on July 23, 2025.
