She further added that police will readily inform the public about any development which will not jeopardise the investigations.
Prof Benneh was allegedly murdered at his Adjirigano mansion in Accra.
According to his colleague at the Faculty, Dr Poku Adusei, the academic was “murdered” in the same fashion as the late Abuakwa North Member of Parliament, Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu.
“It appears to be an act perpetuated about three days ago [Thursday], but it was just discovered this morning,” he said of the unfortunate incident.
Police picked up the body of Prof Benneh who lives alone from his home on Saturday morning.
