The Government of Liberia has repatriated the mortal remains of its citizen, Austin Tengbeh, from Ghana to Monrovia following his tragic death in Accra, as investigations into the case continue.
The remains departed Accra earlier this week and were received in Monrovia by family members and well-wishers, according to a recent statement issued by the Embassy of Liberia in Ghana on its official platform.
The development comes weeks after the 26-year-old Liberian national, died on February 27, 2026, following a violent mob attack in the Lashibi–Sakumono area of Accra.
He was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival, with preliminary accounts indicating the violence stemmed from a misunderstanding that escalated and drew a crowd.
The case quickly gained public attention after reports and footage circulated online, prompting calls for justice. Ghanaian authorities launched investigations through the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), leading to the arrest of several suspects, while Liberia’s Embassy in Accra was formally notified.
The Embassy indicated that it worked closely with Ghanaian authorities and the bereaved family to ensure the dignified handling, documentation and repatriation of the remains.
It further confirmed that investigations remain ongoing, with authorities pursuing justice in accordance with Ghanaian law.
The Government of Liberia expressed appreciation to Ghanaian authorities for their cooperation throughout the process and reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring accountability.
The Embassy also assured continued engagement with relevant stakeholders while maintaining the longstanding cordial relations between both countries.
The Government extended its condolences to the bereaved family, pledging solidarity as preparations are made for final funeral arrangements in Monrovia.
