The Ashanti Regional Police Command has picked up one person in connection with the death of 18-year-old Georgina Agyemang at Anwiankwantah in the Bekwai Municipality.
The body was found half naked on Saturday noon, at an uncompleted building a few metres from her sister’s home.
Already, the bizarre state in which the victim was found has led to speculations of strangulation and rape.
Speaking to JoyNews, an uncle of the deceased, Nana Kwarteng Amoaninn III insists the young girl was killed at a different location and transported to the building.
He says the case has been reported to the police with the family expecting a thorough investigation to commence.
“After that the Police must communicate its findings to the family,” he added.
Nana Kwarteng Amoaninn III told JoyNews that, the family also found some of the victim’s personal belongings at the scene.
These included her phone charger, a purse containing an amount of GHS150, glue and an umbrella.
Meanwhile, the Assembly member for Anwiankwantah Electoral Area, Frank Akowuah wants security enhanced within the area.
He stressed that residents are now living in fear with some relocating due to the numerous unsolved killings in and around the area.
“About three months ago the same incident happened where a three-month-old baby was killed and we have a town around Anwiankwanta called Behinase, the same incident happened over there. A mother and her baby were both killed. So it has been occurring, this is something that we have to find a solution to.
“Since yesterday, people have started moving from the area to the main town because of what has happened. They are in fear that it will happen again. Those who have rented rooms over here are moving.”
He is therefore asking the security services to work with community members to protect the lives of citizens.
“For the security services, I have told them that in Ghana we don’t meet the world standard so they alone cannot protect the citizens, we have to help them. We need to establish community volunteers that will support the police rather than giving all our security to the police. So what the police are doing is ok, but we the citizens must help them so that the volunteers will protect the citizens.”

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
