The Ashanti Regional Police Command has opened an investigation into a tragic shooting incident that occurred in Nyinahin on Thursday, April 24, 2025, resulting in the death of one person and injuries to three others.

In a statement, the Police said preliminary reports indicated that the incident happened around 11:00 a.m. when a group of young people from Nyinahin were en route to the cemetery along the Kumasi–Bibiani Highway to bury a friend.

It said during the procession, a military truck carrying personnel reportedly stopped after spotting one of the mourners dressed in military camouflage.

Eyewitnesses say the soldiers approached the mourner and attempted to forcibly remove the camouflage attire. A confrontation ensued, during which a soldier allegedly shot the mourner in the head, killing him instantly.

The deceased has been identified as Akwasi Lala, popularly known as Kushivi.

The police stated that as tensions escalated, the military reportedly fired additional shots in an attempt to disperse the mourners and prevent retaliation, resulting in three more individuals sustaining injuries.

The statement said the three individuals are currently receiving medical treatment and are said to be responding well.

It noted that a police investigative team arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, retrieving spent shell casings for forensic analysis.

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Nyinahin Community Mortuary, where an autopsy will be performed.

The police further said that the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe, visited both the scene of the incident and the hospital where the injured are being treated.

It said he assured the community of a thorough investigation and pledged that all those found culpable would face justice.

The Police Command is also liaising with the Central Military Command to facilitate the release of the soldiers involved to assist with ongoing investigations.

Meanwhile, the Police are urging the public to remain calm and cooperate fully to ensure justice is served in this matter.
