A man in his late 40s has been shot dead by unknown assailants at Kokoben New Site in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District of the Ashanti Region.
Nana Okofrobuo Boateng, believed to be a former chief of Kokoben, was killed on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
Family members suspect foul play, alleging the attack was contract killing.
Sister of the deceased, Nana Ama, disclosed that Nana Boateng had survived a similar attempt on his life last year, but the perpetrators were neither arrested nor identified.
“My brother had gone out to buy food and was shot while entering his gate,” she stated, visibly distraught.
The Bohyen District Police Command has commenced preliminary investigations at the scene, and the body of the deceased has been deposited at a mortuary for further forensic examination.
Currently, no arrests have been made, and police investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend the attackers.
