A wave of grief has swept through Asawase in the Ashanti Region following the murder of Abdul-Malik Azenbe, the Kusasi Chief in the area. The shocking incident occurred on the night of Tuesday, July 22, 2025, when unidentified assailants stormed his residence and shot him dead.
Eyewitnesses describe a chilling scene that unfolded around 8:40 p.m. when two men arrived on a motorbike. One of the attackers was reportedly armed with what appeared to be an AK-47 rifle. Without warning, the gunman fired multiple shots at the chief before the duo fled the scene.
In the aftermath of the brutal killing, GhPage secured an exclusive with the chief’s grieving relatives. One family member, identified as Kwabena Kodua, disclosed that the chief had been hit by two bullets during the ambush. He confirmed that the assailants carried out the shooting from the bike and immediately escaped without being apprehended.
Adding a deeper layer to the tragedy, the late chief’s brother recounted a recent conversation they had shared. He revealed that their final discussion had revolved around the ongoing unrest in Bawku — a conflict that had deeply concerned the chief before his untimely death.
Investigations into the murder are ongoing as community members call for justice amid growing fears over security in the region.
