Safina Adizatu Mohammed to begin murder trial on January 12

The Accra High Court has scheduled the trial of Safina Adizatu Mohammed, a student accused of murdering her Canadian-based boyfriend, Frank Kofi Osei. The proceedings are set to formally commence on January 12, 2027, following a period of legal preparation and pre-trial activity. This case, which involves the death of a Ghanaian citizen resident in Canada, has remained under judicial scrutiny since the allegations first emerged.

On the opening day of the trial, the state prosecution is expected to call its first witness to the stand. This individual will provide foundational testimony regarding the incident, which the state alleges led to the death of Mr. Osei. The prosecution's strategy focuses on establishing the timeline and specific circumstances of the event through a series of witnesses, with the initial testimony viewed as a vital component of the state's case against the accused.

Safina Adizatu Mohammed remains the primary suspect in the investigation that followed the discovery of the victim's body. As the court prepares for the start date in early 2027, the legal teams for both the state and the defense are expected to finalize their lists of evidence and witnesses. The high-profile proceedings at the Accra High Court will eventually determine the legal outcome for the student in a case that has captured significant public interest.
