The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested two individuals — Solomon Opoku and Collins Aboagye — in connection with the alleged robbery and murder of 20-year-old Kofi Mensah at Tweapease-Aboo in the Ashanti Region.
The arrests came after an intelligence-led operation, initiated following a report filed on October 6, 2025, by the local Assembly Member, Francis Appiah.
According to police reports, Kofi Mensah was attacked and allegedly murdered, with his Haojin motorbike stolen by the suspects.
Solomon Opoku was apprehended four days later at Council Quarters in Obuasi while attempting to sell the stolen motorbike. Investigations subsequently led to the arrest of Collins Aboagye at Kokotesua, also in Obuasi.
Police say both suspects have confessed to the crime and have since been arraigned before court.
The Ashanti South Police Command has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring justice is served and maintaining public safety. They also encourage the public to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to aid in crime prevention.
