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

A 30-year-old man, Kwabena Mensah, has been lynched by his friends at Kasoa Ofaakor in the Awutu Senya East District of the Central Region. Kwabena met his untimely death after an argument over GH₵200, according to reports.

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.
