A palpable tension has descended upon Asawase, a bustling suburb within the Kumasi Metropolis, as the Ashanti Regional Police Command ramps up its efforts to apprehend suspects linked to the recent killings of two men, including a Kusaase Chief, Alhaji Abdul-Malik Azenbge.

The gruesome killings, occurring over the past three days, have prompted a significant increase in police visibility and aggressive operational tactics across the city.

In the wake of these audacious attacks, police have launched a massive dragnet operation.

At the same time, armed security personnel have been deployed to the Manhyia Palace located in the Ashanti regional capital.
