The police have begun an investigation into the fatal shooting of the Kusasi chief, Abdul-Malik Azenbe, that occurred on Monday evening at Asawase F-Line, a suburb of Kumasi, according to a statement on Wednesday.
The statement, signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Godwin Ahianyo, Head of Public Affairs Unit in the Ashanti Region, observed that preliminary findings indicate that a middle-aged man was shot and killed by two unidentified assailants.
According to the police, the suspects, both riding separate motorbikes, reportedly approached the victim at close range and opened fire before fleeing the scene.
The victim was initially rushed to the Manhyia District Hospital for emergency treatment but was later transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead.
His body has since been deposited at the Ebenezer Mortuary in Tafo for autopsy.
In response to the attack, the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Mr. Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe, together with the Regional Crime Officer, ACP Mr. Ebenezer Boyor, and a team of officers, visited the scene to assess the situation.
During their inspection, two spent shells, suspected to have been fired from an AK-47 assault rifle, were recovered and documented as evidence.
The police command has assured the public that every effort is being made to track down the perpetrators of what they describe as a “heinous crime.”
“We urge members of the public to remain calm and cooperate with the police by providing any information that could assist in the ongoing investigation,” the statement added.
The police urged person(s) with relevant information to reach out to the nearest police station or call the emergency lines: 191, 18555, or 112. Enditem
