While the details of how Atom De Moral Spirit, born Agyei Baffour Emmanuel, passed away are unknown, he said goodbye to his family and set off to school, but never got to school. He was later found abandoned on a farm.
The missing Immigration Officer was also found dead after a meeting with his friend. Reports have claimed that Amoah's friend, identified as Bright Aweh, owed him some money and called him to come for the debt.
However, Stephen did not return after his body was found abandoned and burned in a bush. Bright has been arrested and taken to court to assist in investigations.

Security Analyst calls for strengthened community policing
Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, a Security Analyst, Mohammed Tagna, gave insights into how the worrying trend can be curbed.
"I must admit that the recent spike in missing persons cases in Ghana, many of which tragically end in death, is a growing national security concern. It highlights serious gaps in the country's security system. But I think this can be curbed or averted if we strengthen community policing, report these incidents early enough and also, if the government can invest in public awareness campaigns on these issues," he said.

Netizens who saw the post of the missing driver's demise were heartbroken. Many sympathised with his family; however, others were extremely concerned, especially given the recent rise in similar cases.
