Barely a week after James Nana Womba, the key suspect in the murder of University of Ghana Law Professor, Yaw Benneh, fell sick and died mysteriously, an accomplice that he named in a self-confession has also fallen sick.
Opambour Badu Nkansah, according to the Police, has been put on admission at the Police Hospital in Accra where Womba had succumbed to whatever disease that the Police is yet to tell the public.
The Police announced the strange admission of Badu Nkansah at the Kaneshie district court today where the suspect had been scheduled to appear.
Interestingly, the appearance of Badu Nkansah before the court today had been announced in an October 19 statement that the Police had released to announce the strange sudden death of James Nana Womba at the Police hospital.
Due to the supposed sickness of the remaining murder suspect, prosecutors asked the court to adjourn the case. This was obliged to by the court which adjourned the case to 9 November.
For many, the sudden violent sickness of Womba was rather dramatic and has raised serious suspicion of foul play. His mother has already stated that she suspects her son was poisoned.
Opambour’s case is seen as a similar plot. The Police’ neglect to release an autopsy on the cause of Womba’s death also nourishes the suspicion.
Prof. Yaw Benneh was said to be a writing a book that was to air some very damning information about some people within the circles of the powers that be.
His lifeless and almost decomposing body had been found by the Police in his Adjiringanor mansion with a gag in his mouth while his arms were tied behind him.
Womba, who was a domestic help of the late Law don had initially been arrested together with four others. However, after confessing that he took part in the murder, the other four, were acquitted by the court.
The traitorous domestic staff had however named a different set of accomplices, including Opambour Badu Nkansah, who had been tracked down and arrested by the Police.
According to prosecutors, Womba had said during his confession that he had attempted to destroy the Central Processing Unit of the computer that Prof. Benneh had been using. It is believed that that computer contained the manuscripts of the damning book that the Law don was writing.
Womba, who is said to have claimed that he took the computer because he feared it was installed with CCTV cameras that may have recorded the whole murder act, told the Police he had dumped it into a manhole. The Police say they have retrieved it.
Then just when everybody was waiting for Womba to appear in court over the charge of murder, the Police announced that he had died after falling violently ill. His mother told reporters last week that his son had told her that he was being set up because he did not kill the law lecturer.
In a 19th October statement from the Police announcing Womba’s death, the public was informed that the investigation was going to continue with Badu Nkansah whom Womba had named as an accomplice and that the second suspect would appear before court on the 26th of October, today.
But, that has also hit a snag with the curious sickness of Opambour.
