Police in the Eastern South Region have arrested a 37-year-old carpenter, Kwame Arhin, also known as Abompe, for allegedly murdering a man at Kibi Newtown.

In a statement signed by DSP David Fianko-Okyere of the Regional Public Affairs Unit, the Police said the suspect was arrested on Sunday, November 16, 2025, in a bush near the Kibi Presbyterian College of Education.

According to the statement, police officers received a distress call on Saturday, November 15, 2025, reporting the killing of a man near the Kibi Court Complex.

A team of detectives and crime scene experts was immediately deployed to the location to begin investigations.

At the scene, the police found the body of a man identified as Jonas Baah Sarpong.

The body was removed and first deposited at the Kibi Government Hospital morgue before being transferred to the Police Hospital in Accra for preservation and autopsy.

Preliminary investigations showed that the deceased was a security guard at the Kibi Presbyterian College of Education.

The police said a misunderstanding reportedly occurred between him and the suspect, leading to Arhin allegedly slashing the victim’s throat with a cutlass before fleeing.

The suspect is currently in police custody and is being processed for court, while investigations continue.

The police assured the public of their commitment to ensuring justice is served.

At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.

Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
