Grace
In a shocking turn of events, Christopher Adu Boahen, son of the late Albert Adu Boahen, a prominent NPP political figure, was brutally murdered at his residence in East Legon, a suburb of Accra. The incident occurred during a violent robbery that left the nation in grief and disbelief.
The Boahen Legacy
The Boahen family has long been associated with Ghanaian politics. Albert Adu Boahen, Christopher’s father, made history as the first presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the 1992 elections, marking Ghana’s return to democracy under the Fourth Republic. His principled stance and commitment to democratic ideals left an indelible mark on the nation.
Christopher Adu Boahen, following in his father’s footsteps, was a respected member of the political landscape. His untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the country, leaving friends, family, and colleagues grappling with grief and anger.
The Tragic Incident
According to reports by Asaaseradio.com, armed assailants forcibly entered Christopher’s home, ransacking it in search of valuables. In a horrifying twist, they took his life, leaving behind a scene of chaos and sorrow. The police have cordoned off the residence, treating it as a crime scene.
His brother Charles Adu Boahen, who held key positions in the Akufo-Addo administration, including deputy minister for finance and minister of state at the Ministry of Finance, resigned from his government role in November 2022. The Boahen family’s contributions to Ghana’s political landscape are immeasurable, and their pain is shared by the entire nation.
