Ashanti Police launches investigation into shooting incidence
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has launched
investigations into the shooting incident that led
to the death of one person and injuries to many
others at Adwumakaase-Kese in the Afigya-Kwabre
South District.








Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Godwin
Ahianyo, Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations
Officer (PRO) told journalists in Kumasi that the
police were investigating the circumstances that
led to the shooting incident by the police
officers detailed for duty in the area on that
fateful day.

Some residents in the Adwumakaase-Kese was said to
have clashed with police officers who had gone to
the town to arrest some people alleged to have
removed a billboard erected by Nana Kwaku Twumasi,
chief of Bomfo on a disputed boundary between
Adwumakaase-Kese and Bomfo, both in the
Afigya-Kwabre South District.

This led to a shooting by the police resulting in
the death of one person and injuries to others
including; some of the police officers.

The deceased has been identified as Emmanuel Addae
54 and the police officer who got injured also
identified as Sergeant Isaac Acheampong.

Calm has returned to the two communities following
a peace pact signed by the chiefs, Nana Asenso
Kofo Ababio of Adwuamakaase-Kese and Nana Kwaku
Twumasi, of Bomfo, at the Regional Police
Command.

ASP Ahianyo said since the matter was a land
dispute, it was reported to the Asantehene,
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for amicable settlement.

He said the police had the two chiefs who agreed
to iron out their differences and assured the
people in the two communities that everything
would be done to ensure total peace in the area.

On his part, Nana Asenso Kofo Ababio, chief of
Adwumakase Kese, appealed to his townsmen to calm
down and leave the matter to be handled by the
overlord of the Asante kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu
II.

He expressed his condolences to the family that
lost their relative, describing it as
unfortunate.

Nana Kwaku Twumasi, chief of Bomfo condemned the
incident and called for peace to prevail in the
area adding Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, was the best
person to handle the matter and any decision would
be welcomed by him.
