Three gangster groups in Kumasi
exposed by the police
Kumasi, Nov. 30, Ghanadot/GNA - The Ashanti Regional Police
Command have identified three gangster groups located at
Asawasi, Ashanti New Town and Batama and they are believed
to be causing mayhem in the metropolis.
The groups are said to specialize in using machetes and
other deadly weapons in their operations.
The Acting Ashanti Regional Police Commander, Assistant
Commissioner of Police Seth Oteng, told a press conference
on Thursday that some of the Bantama group members are Kwame
Appiah, the leader, Kwadwo Poku, Dauda, Marcus, Moses
Gyempeh and Agyankugya.
He said whilst the Asawasi group was identified in 2004, the
others were found out this year and that the Bantama
gangsters were suspected to have murdered one Jordan Osei
Yaw, the 26 year-old trader, at South Suntreso last
Saturday.
Police have not arrested any of the members.
Mr. Oteng said in the course of attacking Jordan Osei Yaw,
Poku got wounded and was taken Komfo Anokye Teaching
Hospital.
Nobody suspected them of having committed any crime though
their outfits were stained with blood and they told the
medical officers that Poku sustained the injury in a fight.
He was treated and discharged the next day.
