The Ashanti Regional Police Command has launched investigations into the circumstances surrounding the death of a 20-year-old Senegalese national, identified as Cheikh Toure, whose body was deposited at the Ebenezer Mortuary at Tafo, Kumasi.
According to a statement issued by the Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service on Monday, October 20, 2025, preliminary inquiries revealed that the deceased was taken to the mortuary by a man identified as Issah, who claimed to be his brother.
Further checks at the Manhyia Government Hospital established that on October 16, Issah had brought the young man to the facility in a critical condition with a severe abdominal injury, alleging that he had been involved in an accident. However, hospital records indicated that the victim was already dead upon arrival.
The Police say the case is being handled by the Ashanti Regional Criminal Investigations Department, which is working to unravel the true circumstances leading to the death.
“The Command wishes to assure the public that investigations are ongoing and any persons found culpable will be dealt with according to the law,” the statement, signed by Chief Superintendent Godwin Ahianyo, Head of Public Affairs Unit in the Ashanti Region, said.
The Police have urged the public to remain calm as they pursue the matter to its logical conclusion.
