A 23-year-old  student of Oyoko School of Dispensing Optics, Kwabena Asumadu, has been shot dead by unknown gunmen in the Ashanti Region.

Addai Derick, a friend of the deceased said “Kwabena was a calm and reliable friend. He didn’t have qualms with anyone because he is someone who immediately apologizes to people he offends. We just can’t understand why someone will do something like this to him. We are pained but God knows best”, 3news reported
