The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Andrew Augustus Nana Kwasi, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to initiate a thorough investigation into a recent shooting incident in Nyinahin that resulted in one death and three injuries.​

The incident occurred on April 24, 2025, when military personnel confronted a group of mourners en route to a cemetery, reportedly due to one individual wearing military camouflage attire.

The confrontation escalated, leading to the shooting of a mourner identified as Akwasi Lala, also known as Kushivi, and injuries to three others. ​

During a visit to the affected families, Nana Kwasi condemned the use of lethal force by the military and demanded justice for the deceased, whom he described as a member of the NDC.

He highlighted that this was not the first instance of such incidents, referencing a previous occurrence in Obuasi where several NDC members were shot and killed by military personnel.​

Meanwhile, the Acting Regional Secretary of the NDC, Baah Acheamfuo, has issued a two-week ultimatum to the government to identify those responsible for the shooting.

He warned that failure to do so would result in him leading a demonstration against the government. ​

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has launched an investigation into the incident. ​

The Member of Parliament for Atwima Mponua, Seth Osei Akoto, has visited and commiserated with the bereaved family, urging calm as investigations proceed. ​
