The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with the robbery and killing of a 20-year-old man, Kofi Mensah, at Tweapease-Aboo in the Ashanti Region.
The suspects, Solomon Opoku and Collins Aboagye, were apprehended following sustained intelligence-led operations by the police.
According to a police report, the incident was first brought to the attention of the Bediem District Police Command on 6th October 2025 by the Assembly Member for the area, who indicated that the victim had been attacked, killed, and his Haojin motorbike stolen.
On 10th October 2025, suspect Solomon Opoku was arrested at Council Quarters, Obuasi, while attempting to sell the stolen motorbike. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of his accomplice, Collins Aboagye, at Kokotesua, another suburb of Obuasi.
Police say both suspects have confessed to the crime, and the stolen motorbike has since been retrieved.
The two are currently in police custody and are expected to be arraigned before court on Monday, 13th October 2025.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its commitment to pursue justice and maintain safety and security across all communities within the region.
