Confirming the incident to Class FM’s Ashanti Regional Correspondent, Elisha Adarkwah, Assembly Member for the area, Paul Owusu said:
“I was called and informed that someone had been shot. On arrival at the Police station, the owner of the house where the deceased lived was also there to lodge a complaint. We went to the scene and confirmed the incident.
“I was told he had lived there for a year and did any construction-related work. I wanted to find out if he had problems with anyone, but everyone spoke well of him. He had on only a pair of shorts when he was killed.”
