In the early hours of Friday, October 30, 2026, a quiet neighborhood in Sakumono, Accra, was shattered by violence. Samuel Osei Anto Christopher, a man once known to the victims, allegedly arrived at the NTHC Estate residence with a singular purpose: to collect a GH¢500,000 debt he claimed was owed to him.
He was not alone. Accompanying him was Beatrice Mumuni, a 47-year-old woman who, according to police investigations, may have helped lead him to the home of George Atubiga and his niece, Irene Atubiga. What began as a confrontation over money quickly escalated. As tempers flared, a heated misunderstanding erupted. In a moment that would change lives forever, the suspect is said to have drawn a weapon and fatally shot both George, 57, and Irene, 47.
Police officers responding to desperate calls found the two victims lying in pools of blood. They were rushed to hospital, but it was too late, both were pronounced dead on arrival. The bodies were taken to the Police Hospital Mortuary, where autopsies would later confirm the grim reality of their violent deaths.
As news broke, the community reeled. Irene Atubiga was more than a victim, she was the CEO of Kussa Shea Bliss, a successful entrepreneur, and a mother of two young boys. Tributes poured in from friends, family, and colleagues mourning her loss.
The police quickly moved to arrest Beatrice Mumuni, suspected of aiding the attack. Samuel Osei Anto Christopher, however, disappeared. In their bid to find him, authorities declared him wanted and announced a GH¢100,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
For days, the manhunt gripped the city. Then, on Sunday, November 1, 2026, the Ghana Police Service announced a breakthrough: Samuel Osei Anto Christopher was arrested at his hideout. While details of the arrest remain under wraps, the police have assured the public that full information will be shared soon.
For now, two families mourn, a community seeks answers, and the nation waits for justice to be served in the wake of a debt that turned deadly.
