Police on manhunt for men who lynched friend at Kasoa Over GH₵200

A police source says Kwabena and his friends are believed to be Asafo members of the Kasoa Odupong Ofaako Stool. They went to an estate developer’s site to demand a GH₵7,000 fine after he flouted the ban on noise-making. During the period, nobody was supposed to work, but the developer defied the directive from the traditional authorities.

In an interview with Adom News, Edem Saglo, a brother of the deceased, said that after they received the money, they proceeded to another developer to demand GH₵200. Kwabena confronted his friends for his share of the money in the morning, but it led to a heated exchange.

Edem identified two of the attackers as Beards and Baddest Shatta. Around 11:00 pm on Sunday, Kwabena was attacked while they were drinking at a spot. The suspects came wielding stones and sticks. In his attempt to urge calm, one of them hit him [Edem] with a stick, and he fell unconscious.

“Some witnesses poured water on me to resuscitate me, but when I regained consciousness, my brother was in a terrible state. We rushed him to the hospital, but he died,” he narrated.
