Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Christopher Adu Boahen, son of renowned historian and former presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Prof. Albert Adu Boahen has been murdered by robbers at his home in East Legon, a suburb of Accra.<\/b><\/p>\n

Asaase radio reported on March 18 that the late Christopher Adu Boahen was attacked by the robbers who broke into his house, ransacked his home and killed him in the process.<\/p>\n

According to reports, a Facebook post by his 1995 year group at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where Christopher studied electrical engineering, announced that some \u201cwicked persons\u201d had taken his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cSad to announce the untimely passing of our classmate, Christopher. Wicked persons entered his home, ransacked the place, and robbed him of his life. His home, at East Legon, has been barricaded by the police and declared a crime scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay the soul of our brother find rest in the Lord. Bad news for a Monday morning but let\u2019s keep our spirits up and look forward to a great week,\u201d said the post announcing the death of Christopher Adu Boahen.<\/p>\n

The late Christopher Adu Boahen was the son of the NPP\u2019s presidential candidate in 1992, Professor Albert Adu Boahen in the first elections held in Ghana after the country\u2019s return to democracy under the Fourth Republic.<\/p>\n

Christopher Adu Boahen was a brother of Charles Adu Boahen, who served both as a deputy minister for finance and then as minister of state at the Ministry of Finance in the Akufo-Addo government.<\/p>\n

Charles Adu Boahen resigned from government in November 2022.<\/p>\n
