  The Ashanti Regional Police Command has appealed to members of the public to assist it with credible information that can lead to the arrest of a Kumasi-based businessman, AlhajiAlidu Suleima, 56, who was shot and killed by an unidentified assassin at his private residence at TUC Adiembra, a suburb of Kumasi last Saturday. 

Addressing the media in Kumasi , the Deputy Ashanti Regional Commander, ACP Ampofo Duku, assured the family and members of the public that the Police Command is doing everything possible to track the perpetrators of the crime. 

According to ACP Duku, at about8.30 pm last Saturday, Alhaji Alidu Suleiman, who plies his trade at Allah Bar, a suburb of Kumasi, returned from town. After driving into his house, he was returning to close the main gate when his suspected assailant shot at him from a very closed range twice in the head killing him instantly. 

ACP Duku suspected the assailant to have hidden in a hedge close to the main gate. After the act, the assailant is believed to have jumped into his vehicle believed to have been parked at a distant from the house and sped off immediately after the act. 

The Deputy Regional Police Commander said when the Police visited the scene the following morning, used shells of ammunition were found near where the body laid. 

ACP Duku however allayed the fears of members of the public and asked them to go about their lawful routine activities as the police is working hard to provide the congenial atmosphere for everyone to live peacefully.

The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
