A 33-year-old mobile money vendor, Augustine Mensah, was shot and killed by unidentified assailants in Manso-Asamang, located in the Amansie West District of the Ashanti Region. According to reports, Augustine was called by a customer to perform a transaction after he had closed for the day on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
However, he was shot by unidentified persons while returning home after attending to a customer. A passerby rushed him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His death comes exactly two weeks after a young woman, Patricia Nimako, who was in her early thirties, was shot and killed at her mobile money vending shop in Krofrom, in the Kumasi Metropolis.
Patricia Nimako was laid to rest on Thursday, February 27, 2025, but no arrests have been made despite the bereaved family’s continued demand for justice. The latest incident at Manso-Asamang has left residents in a state of shock and mourning. Police have begun investigations into the incident. An opinion leader in the area, Stephen Agyei, who confirmed the incident to Citi News, said the body has been deposited at St. Martin’s Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy
