Police in the Ashanti South Region have arrested three individuals in connection with the killing of the Kusasi Chief in Asawase, a case that has lingered since July 2025.
The suspects have been identified as Jamil Usman, also known as Babamu or Guru, Suleman Yasir Arafat, alias Obasanjo, and Ashiadu Sumbeida, also called Eyeshadow.
Their arrest marks a significant step in efforts to bring closure to the high-profile case that has unsettled residents in the area.
Speaking to the media in Bekwai on Tuesday, March 17, Ashanti South Regional Police Commander DCOP Joseph Hammond Nyaaba disclosed that processes are underway to transfer the suspects to the Ashanti Regional Police Command to assist with further investigations.

The discovery points to the scale of the operation and raises concerns about the level of firepower involved.
