The police have arrested a suspect in connection with violent disturbances, which resulted in the death of one person at Krofrom, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
The suspect, Nana Osei Gyeabour alias Point, in the company of others attacked the deceased victim, Kwabena Azure, on 25 January 2023 and inflicted multiple machete wounds on him.

Following the death of the victim, on 27 January 2023 a group of people believed to be friends of the deceased besieged the scene at Krofrom where the deceased was attacked and set the place ablaze.
