There are reports of tension at Moshie Zongo in Kumasi following the death of a 55-year-old suspect in police custody.

Police sources said the deceased, Boazor Bawoleyen was remanded by a Mampong court for engaging in drug peddling when the incident occurred.

But the family of the deceased claim he was beaten and locked up after his arrest by a combined team of local watchdog team and police.

But police say the 55-year-old died while receiving treatment at the Tafo government hospital.
