Police in the Ashanti Region have arrested three suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of Kusasi Chief, Abdul-Malik Azenbe, at Asawase in Kumasi.
The suspects—Jamil Usman, also known as Babamu or Guru; Suleman Yasir Arafat, alias Obasanjo; and Ashiadu Sumbeida, popularly called Eyeshadow—were picked up in what authorities describe as an intelligence-led operation.
Chief Azenbe was shot dead on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, outside his residence near the Asawase F-Line Community Centre.
Eyewitnesses reported that two assailants arrived on a motorbike at about 8:40 p.m., with one of them wielding an AK-47 rifle and opening fire on the chief.
At a press briefing, Ashanti South Regional Police Commander, DCOP Joseph Hammond Nyaaba, confirmed the arrests and indicated that the suspects are being transferred for further investigations.
He further disclosed that a fourth suspect, identified only as Illiasu, also known as Abodam, is currently at large.
Police have appealed to the public to assist with information that could lead to his arrest.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
