Suspected soldier on the run after allegedly killing a tanker driver and pregnant wife to rob them

Ebenezer Kwabena, a fuel tanker driver, and his pregnant wife have been found dead in their apartment at Tema around Saki High Tension on Friday, May 1, 2026, lying in a pool of blood, while their three-year-old daughter was discovered alive in the same room after being left alone for approximately three days without food or water.

Reports identify the primary suspect as Prince Krah, a soldier recently transferred to Tamale, with theft believed to be the motive after he allegedly learned that Kwabena was carrying a large sum of money—estimated between GH¢100,000 and GH¢470,000—for fuel purchases.

Police believe the murders occurred on Wednesday, April 29, 2026.

The suspect is currently on the run as authorities intensify efforts to locate him.

The Saki Police Command has deposited the victims’ bodies at the morgue for autopsy while actively pursuing leads.

Since the incident, Ghana Police Service has increased visibility in the area.

The police urge the public to provide information on the suspect’s whereabouts.
