Murder of Aflao Mobile Money vendor

The police last Sunday (May 18, 2025) arrested another person in connection with the robbery and murder of a mobile money vendor, Christopher Ahordor, in Aflao on April 28 this year.

The suspect, Happy Sewordor, 65, is believed to be the father of one of the earlier arrested suspects, Michael Sewordor.

His arrest brings the total number of suspects nabbed in the case so far to eight.

The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Felix Danku, the Head of the Volta Region Police Public Affairs Unit, said the police retrieved four single-barrel cap guns, one locally manufactured pistol, 14 AAA and one BB empty cartridges, a quantity of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, and substances believed to be Tramadol from the suspect’s room in Aflao.

He said the suspect allegedly collected the items from one of the houses belonging to his son, Michael.

Meanwhile, DSP Danku said the man is currently in custody assisting with investigations.

On May 12, the Police Anti-Armed Robbery Unit in Accra arrested three suspects in connection with the case.

Hadi Sulley, 22; Ewe Abraham, 25; and Eric Dordzinu, 25, were subsequently handed over to the police in the Volta Region.

These suspects, along with three others—Korku Agboda, Utsuku Onyeso, and Michael Sewordor—who were arrested earlier, are all in prison custody, according to DSP Danku.

He added that one suspect, Atsu Agbagla, had been granted police enquiry bail to assist with investigations.
