Tension has mounted in the Asawase community in Kumasi following the fatal shooting of an unidentified man in the second incident this week.
According to eyewitnesses, the victim was shot at close range by two unidentified men riding a motorbike, throwing the community into perpetual fear.
The attackers reportedly opened fire and sped off, leaving the man in a pool of blood.
The reason behind Friday’s attack remains unclear. The body of the yet-to-be-identified victim has been deposited at the Manhyia Hospital mortuary.
This killing comes two days after a local chief was gunned down in the area.
The Ashanti Regional Security Council states that security in the Asawase area has been heightened, with both police and military personnel patrolling the community.
With residents gripped by fear, roads in and out of the Sabon Zongo have been partially blocked to control the chaos.
