Investigation demand in Central University student death

Overview

Following the death of Ivan Apprey Baidoo, a 20-year-old law student at Central University, during a motorcycle crash on the Accra-Tema Motorway on August 27, 2026, his family has called for a formal investigation.

While the incident was initially reported as a hit-and-run, the family alleges that a police officer may have been pursuing the motorcycle. Specific allegations suggest an officer on another motorcycle may have drawn a pistol and struck the vehicle from behind near the motorway toll booth. The family has raised questions regarding the identity of the officer involved, the handling of the investigation, and the whereabouts of the deceased’s phone.

In response to the incident, the family has petitioned the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to conduct a thorough probe. Additionally, they have offered a GH¢50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible.
