The family of Stephen King Amoah, an officer with the Ghana Immigration Service, is living through anguish after he mysteriously went missing on the evening of Thursday, July 3, 2025.
According to distraught relatives, Stephen left home that evening after receiving a phone call from a close friend who allegedly owed him GH¢200,000.

The friend reportedly invited him to meet at Ashongman Estates, claiming he was ready to settle the debt.
Stephen informed his wife of the meeting before leaving home, but that was the last time anyone saw or heard from him in person.
Later that night, Stephen’s wife, who was away at the time, received a message from her husband’s phone.
The message claimed he had returned home safely with the money. However, the tone and wording felt off, unlike Stephen’s usual communication style.
Concerned, she asked Stephen’s brother to check on the house. When he arrived, Stephen was nowhere to be found.

Since that night, the family has heard nothing. His phone has remained off, and his whereabouts remain a mystery.
Stephen's friend confirms meeting him
The friend who arranged the meeting has reportedly admitted to seeing Stephen that night.
According to reports, he told investigators he not only repaid the GH¢200,000 but also gave Stephen an additional GH¢300,000 for safekeeping. Despite this, Stephen has not been seen since.
The friend, whose identity is currently being withheld, has since been arrested and remains in police custody as investigations continue.
The family is pleading with the public to come forward with any information, no matter how small, that could help trace Stephen’s whereabouts. Anyone with information is urged to call 0242548965 or report to the nearest police station immediately.
