The Bono Regional Police Command has launched a manhunt for unknown gunmen who shot and killed a 16-year-old boy at an illegal mining site in Amasu, a farming community in the Dormaa East District.
The victim, identified as Issahaku Ansu, was reportedly attacked on Sunday, August 31, 2025, while engaged in illegal mining.
Preliminary police investigations suggest he was shot from a nearby bush, forcing other miners to flee.
A police team later found his body with multiple gunshot wounds to the back.
