However, Mr Blankson is alleged to have gone behind to replace Mr Blady’s name as a signatory.
Speaking in an interview with Adom News, father of the deceased, Frank Ato Blady said his son went to lodge a complaint at the police station to demand correction of the bank details which did not sit well with the suspect.

“Two months later, my son was kidnapped on his way to church only for us to find him dead with knife wounds all over his body and a medical report also revealed knives were inserted in his anus too. So we called for Blankson’s arrest because of his threats,” he narrated.
The suspect is in police custody assisting with investigations.
