The Eastern South Regional Police Command has arrested a 26-year-old Nigerian national suspected of killing a woman and her daughter in Nigeria before fleeing to Ghana to evade arrest. The suspect, identified as Victor Benjamin Fejemirokum, was apprehended in Akwatia following intelligence-led operations.
According to a press release issued on November 23, 2025, the arrest followed the interception of a viral video alleging that Fejemirokum had abducted and murdered a lady who worked with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and her daughter in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The Nigerian Police had already declared him wanted when he fled across the border.
Investigations revealed that the suspect had been hiding at his friend’s residence in Akyem Wenchi, a suburb of Akwatia. Acting on the tip-off, the Eastern South Regional Police Command swiftly deployed officers to the hideout, leading to his arrest.
Fejemirokum is currently in police custody while arrangements are underway to hand him over to Nigerian authorities for further action.
The police urged the public to promptly report any suspicious individuals or movements within their communities to help curb criminal activity. They also assured residents of continuous operations to maintain security across the region.
The statement was signed by DSP David Fianko-Okyere of the Public Affairs Unit, Eastern South Region.
