ROBBERS ROB COLLEAGUE ROBBER

-



The Ashanti Regional Police Command is appealing to the general public to assist it with any information on one Junior and his accomplice who robbed a member of their gang, suspect Augustine Owusu of a Samsung mobile phone, which the latter had stolen from one Madam Susana Owusu at Ohwimase-Kwadaso. 

Owusu is reported to have attacked the victim, a trader at gun-point on a walkway behind St. Peter’s school on the 19th of this month and robbed her of her mobile phone, a cash amount of 100 Ghana Cedis and a purse. 

Suspect Owusu sensing danger from some passersby after a failed rape attempt on the victim in a nearby bush bolted, but not with his Nokia mobile phone which he dropped, which had his personal photograph as the screensaver.

 Madam Owusu after recovering her purse at the robbery scene lodged an official complaint at the Suntreso Police Station, only for the station to be informed the next morning about a victim who was receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s emergency unit after being shot. 

The police identified the victim as suspect Owusu whose phone they had in their custody. 

During questioning, Owusu confessed to the robbery, saying he was robbed and shot by two members of his gang while escaping. The two, Junior and his accomplice had since been at large.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
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. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

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
