The son of prominent New Patriotic Party (NPP) figure, Professor Albert Adu Boahen, Christopher Adu Boahen, has tragically lost his life in a robbery attack at his residence in East Legon.

According to a Facebook post by the 1995-year group of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Christopher, who was a person living with disability, encountered armed robbers in his home who forcibly entered his home, ransacked every corner, and ultimately killed him in the process."Sad 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," it read.

Christopher, an electrical engineering graduate from KNUST, was remembered fondly by his classmates, who shared their shock and grief over the senseless loss.

“May the soul of our brother find rest in the Lord,” the post solemnly declared.

Christopher Adu Boahen’s father was the NPP’s presidential candidate during Ghana’s first elections under the Fourth Republic in 1992.

His brother, Charles Adu Boahen, also held key positions in the Akufo-Addo government. Charles served as both a deputy minister for finance and later as a minister of state at the Ministry of Finance. His abrupt resignation in November 2022 raised eyebrows and speculation.
