The Ashanti Regional Police on August 19, 2019, confirmed the arrest of two suspects in connection to the death of Oheneba Kwadwo Fodour, the Asamponhene of Kumasi.

 

The police described his death as a contract killing.

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has picked up two suspects in connection with what the Police suspect to be contract killing of the Asamponhene of Kumasi Oheneba Kwadwo Fodour.

The Police for security reasons has declined to reveal the identity of the suspects.

The chief, Oheneba Kwadwo Fodour, 46, was said to have been stabbed by unidentified persons while traveling on the Ejura–Nkoranza road in the Ashanti Region on Sunday, August 18, 2019.

Police officers who received information of a vehicle having been involved in an accident on the road went to the scene only to realize that the victim who had rather been stabbed in the back seat of the car was actually Oheneba Kwadwo Fodour.
