The deceased suspects have been identified as Richard Arhin, 26, and Eric Osei, 27. Two other accomplices were apprehended by the community members and handed over to the Fomena Police in the Adansi North District.
The suspects are believed to be members of a robbery gang that carried out a violent operation at Maame Ama, a village near Nsokote, in the early hours of Tuesday, 17th June 2025.
During the attack, 50-year-old Emmanuel Kwadwo Obeng was shot in the chest and died on the spot around 2:00 a.m.
