A 24-YEAR-OLD motor rider has been remanded into prison custody by the Toase District Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region, for allegedly killing an illegal miner at Manso-Moseaso.
The plea of Benjamin Kwakye was not taken, and he will be brought back before the court on March 3, 2026, as prosecution awaits advice from the Attorney General’s Office.
Police Inspector Kwaku Frimpong, prosecuting, told the court, presided by Mr Robert Addo, that the complainant in the case was a 52-year-old father of Prince Amankwaa Tagoe, the deceased.
He said the suspect and his brother, Paa Kwasi, together with the deceased, who was a friend, resided in the same house at Manso-Moseaso in the Amansie West District.
On March 3, 2025, Paa Kwasi’s money got missing and he suspected that the suspect and his friend, the deceased, had conspired and stole it, so he sacked the deceased from the house.
The deceased questioned the suspect about the whereabouts of the money, but this generated a quarrel resulting in a physical fight.
On August 05, 2025, the two met at a chop bar and fought again and this time, the deceased threatened to kill the suspect.
However, the suspect took an axe and threw it at the deceased’s head, so he fell unconscious and bled profusely.
The suspect then fled into hiding, and the deceased was rushed to the Asuowin Health Centre, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
A report was made to the Asuowin Police and on February 13, this year, Kwakye was arrested from his hideout at Dadiesoaba in the Ahafo Region.
In his caution statement, he admitted the offence and after further investigations he was charged and brought before the court.

Calls for adequate security systems to make health facilities safer and secured for patients and visitors have intensified over the saga of a stolen baby that rocked the Mamprobi Polyclinic on Tuesday.
The call, spearheaded by the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, is believed to offer a cure to such incidents in future, and also protect patients, especially vulnerable new-borns from harm.
Dr Naa Momo Lartey and other Members of Parliament rushed to the facility on Wednesday when news broke that the missing baby had been found and the suspected woman that took the baby arrested.
The incident was said to have occurred on Tuesday, February 17, shortly after the mother delivered via a caesarean section.
The alleged abduction triggered panic among hospital staff and patients, prompting swift action by authorities and the police.
Addressing the media after reconciling baby with mother, Dr Naa Momo Lartey stated that the incident highlighted the importance of robust measures in health facilities to promote the safety of patients and staff.
She pledged that her ministry will work closely with the Ministry of Health and other relevant stakeholders to review and strengthen existing security protocols to ensure that the incident was not repeated.
Speaking to the media, Madam Precious Ankomah, the mother of the ‘lost but found’ baby said she was still in shock.
Narrating her ordeal, Madam Ankomah stated that the suspect disguised herself as a nurse and took the new-born under the pretext of administering medication.
She said after sometime, she decided to step out to check on the baby and met a nurse who enquired about the baby and said she was coming to them.
“That was when I felt there was something wrong and I quickly raised an alarm, drawing staff and visitors and family members to the scene,” she stated.
As of press time, the police confirmed reports of the arrest of the woman, Laifatu Salifu, in the centre of the theft storm and she was assisting with investigation to unravel the mystery around the whole incident.
