The Asawase suburb of Kumasi has recorded a second shooting incident this week.

A yet-to-be-identified man has been shot and killed by unknown assailants.

Eyewitnesses stated that two men were riding on a motorbike and opened fire on the victim, who was entering his pickup truck after eating at a food joint.

The armed men shot the victim twice, killing him instantly. However, it is unclear if the incident is linked to the earlier killing of a chief at Asawase.
