The Ghana Police Service has arrested Malcom Fraizer, also known as Nii Djan, in connection with the brutal murder of a man allegedly linked to Fraizer’s ex-wife—a case that has gripped public attention due to its deeply personal nature and the role of digital evidence in the investigation.
The arrest, carried out on July 1, was the result of a swift intelligence-led operation by the National Operations Directorate (NOD) Intelligence Unit. Investigators were aided by digital footprints and a video of the incident that surfaced online, highlighting the increasing relevance of social media and digital platforms in modern law enforcement.
Preliminary police investigations indicate that the fatal altercation occurred on April 1, 2025, and was sparked by a domestic dispute. During interrogation, Fraizer admitted to physically confronting the deceased after discovering that the man was allegedly in a relationship with his ex-wife.

Police sources describe the incident as a violent and emotionally charged confrontation that escalated beyond control. The details of the encounter, now under further investigation, point to how personal grievances can spiral into fatal outcomes when left unresolved.
The NOD Intelligence Unit successfully tracked Fraizer’s location using digital surveillance tools, including geolocation data and online activity analysis. A video shared on social media proved instrumental in confirming the suspect’s involvement and narrowing down his whereabouts.
“This case illustrates how social media and citizen-generated content are reshaping how we detect and solve crimes,” a senior police official commented.
“But it also raises concerns about privacy, content ethics, and the need to balance justice with digital rights.”
The arrest marks another milestone in the Ghana Police Service’s increasing reliance on intelligence-driven policing, combining traditional methods with digital forensics to address violent crimes more effectively.
While comprehensive crime statistics for 2025 are still being compiled, previous data from the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) show that domestic disputes continue to be a major trigger for violent crime in Ghana. This case, once again, underscores the emotional volatility and high stakes often involved in personal relationships.
Legal experts say that murder remains a capital offense under Ghanaian law, governed by the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29). Though the death penalty is still on the books, Ghana has observed a de facto moratorium on executions for decades, with life imprisonment being the most common sentence in murder convictions.
Fraizer is currently in police custody and assisting with ongoing investigations. The Ghana Police Service has urged the public to remain calm and allow the legal process to take its full course.
