Kwabena Mensah, aged 30, met a tragic end at the hands of his friends who attacked him with sticks and stones following a dispute over GH¢200 they had received from a developer.
According to police sources, both the deceased and the suspects were friends and believed to be members of the Asafo group associated with the Kasoa Odupong Ofaako Stool.
Reports indicate that they visited a site where they demanded GH¢7,000 from a developer who had allegedly violated a ban on noise-making imposed by the stool.
During this period, all activities on the land were restricted.
Edem Saglo, the deceased’s brother, recounted that after delivering the GH¢7,000 to the authorities, they then demanded GH¢200 from another developer.
A disagreement arose in the morning when the deceased confronted one of the suspects regarding his share of the money.
Later that evening, around 11:00 PM on Sunday, June 30, 2023, the suspects assaulted them while they were at a drinking spot.
Edem Saglo recalled losing consciousness after being struck with a stick by one of the suspects.
When he regained consciousness, he tragically discovered that his brother had succumbed to the attack.
The suspects remain at large, and the incident has been reported to the Kasoa Ofaako District Police Command.
