Residents of Mpasaaso No 1 and No 2 in the Ahafo Ano South-West District of the Ashanti Region are calling for immediate police protection following a gruesome killing and a shooting incident that has left one young man dead and a pregnant woman fighting for her life.

The violent incident, which occurred on July 18, 2025, according to residents, was the culmination of a long-standing feud between two youth groups which has been ongoing for over a year, causing insecurity in the communities.

The actual bone of contention between these youth groups is yet to be identified; however, residents say their violent activities in the area are making life...

According to youth leader Kojo Asare, the situation has gotten out of hand, with farmers staying away from their farms and students too terrified to attend school.
