The Kusasi Chief in the Ashanti Region, Abdul-Malik Azenbe, has allegedly been shot and killed by unknown assailants at his residence in Asawase.
The incident occurred on the night of Tuesday, 22 July 2025, near the Asawase F-Line Community Centre.
According to eyewitness accounts, two men arrived on a motorbike around 8:40 p.m., with one of them reportedly wielding an AK-47 rifle.
The gunman is said to have opened fire on the chief before both assailants fled the scene.
Azenbe, who was enskinned as Kadi Naaba just three months ago, was initially rushed to the Manhyia District Hospital and later transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The deceased also served as the Kaadi Divisional Area Chief in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region.
Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe, visited the bereaved family later in the evening and assured them of a thorough investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Police say investigations are underway, and security in the area has been tightened.
