The Ghana Police Service, has taken a major step forward in the investigation into the tragic death of Dr Christopher Adu Boahen, with the arrest of suspect Mark Forson, on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 in Accra.

The Herald’s family insiders, disclosed that Mark Forson was a “House Boy”. He claimed to have resigned on March 2, 2024, and within days Dr Adu Boahen, son of the late history Professor and New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart and 1992 Presidential candidate, Albert Adu Boahen, was found dead in his East Legon home.

Dr Adu Boahen, age 52, who had been wheelchair-bound as a result of a debilitating accident he suffered years ago, was also the younger brother of Charles Adu Boahen, ex-Minister of State at Finance Ministry. 

Those who knew him at Achimota School, described him as a very kind and private man with a gentle disposition. He wouldn’t hurt a fly, and many found it curious that he had been murdered. 

He is a product of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where he studied Electrical Engineering, and later did an MBA at Wharton School- University of Pennsylvania, USA.
