Police described the suspect as “a black male with a think build and black hair, wearing a dark shirt and pants.”
Chris Attoh and Bettie Jenifer married at a ceremony in Accra October 2018. This was shortly after divorcing his first wife, DamiloIa Adegbite, who he has shares a son with.
Just last week, Chris Attoh sparked speculation on social media that their marriage was in crisis after he deleted all her photos on his IG page.
