'Murdered car dealer called me lazy and useless’ — Two brothers arrested, confess over Tuba shooting

The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested two brothers in connection with the shooting that claimed the life of a 54-year-old car dealer and injured his wife at Beach Drive Estate, Tuba, near Weija.

The deceased, identified as Mohammed Rahman, and his 53-year-old wife, Christiana Fosu, were reportedly returning home from an evening walk when Adams Adder Almeida allegedly opened fire on them at the entrance to their four-bedroom apartment.

The incident occurred at about 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 6, 2026, leaving Mr Rahman critically injured. He was rushed to Finney Hospital in Weija, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

His wife was subsequently referred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, where she remains on admission and is responding to treatment.

The shooting prompted an intensive police investigation and manhunt, leading to the arrest of Adams Adder Almeida and his brother, Bala Bilyon, with support from the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET).

According to the police, Adams admitted during interrogation to shooting the couple. He reportedly told investigators that the deceased had repeatedly described him as “lazy and useless”, remarks he claimed had affected him mentally.

Following his arrest, Adams allegedly led investigators to his brother’s room at Beach Drive Estate, where a pistol believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered from beneath a well drop.

Police investigations also established that Adams and Bala, who works with the deceased, lived together in the same room at Tuba.

Adams reportedly told investigators that the pistol had been given to him by a friend identified as Gideon.

He subsequently led the police to Gideon’s residence at Tuba in an attempt to locate him, but the suspect was not found.

The police have since intensified efforts to apprehend Gideon as investigations into the circumstances surrounding the shooting continue.
