The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with the robbery and murder of a 20-year-old man, Kofi Mensah, at Tweapease-Aboo in the Ashanti Region.
Addressing a news conference at Bekwai yesterday, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Joseph Hammond Nyaaba, Commander for the Ashanti South Regional Police command, revealed that the suspects, Solomon Opoku and Collins Aboagye were apprehended, following sustained intelligence-led operations.
ACP Nyaaba explained that the arrests followed a report filed by the Assembly Member for the area, Hon. Francis Appiah, to the Bediem District Police Command on October 6, 2025.
According to the report, the victim had been attacked, murdered, and his Haojin motorbike stolen.
“On October 10, 2025, suspect Solomon Opoku was arrested at Council Quarters in Obuasi when he attempted to sell the stolen motorbike. Further investigations led to the arrest of his accomplice, Collins Aboagye, at Kokotesua, also a suburb of Obuasi,” ACP Nyaaba stated.
Both suspects have confessed to the crime, and the stolen motorbike has since been retrieved.
The police chief reaffirmed the service’s commitment to ensuring public safety and pursuing justice.
He assured residents that efforts are ongoing to protect all communities within the Ashanti South Region.
