The Kumasi High Court has sentenced Police Inspector Ahmed Twumasi, also known as “Taacum,” to life imprisonment for the murder of his girlfriend, 26-year-old Victoria Dapaah, popularly known as Maadwoa.
The sentence was delivered on Friday, October 24, 2025, by Justice Rosemond Baah-Tosu, after a seven-member jury found the officer guilty by a 5–2 majority verdict.
Inspector Twumasi was convicted for shooting Maadwoa several times in the abdomen and chest at close range near her residence at Adum, Kumasi, on April 20, 2023.
Prosecutors said the killing followed a dispute over a GH¢5,000 debt that the police officer had reportedly demanded from the deceased. After she failed to repay the amount, he confronted her and shot her with his service rifle, killing her instantly.
