The late Akwasi Lala, also known as Kushivi
A video of a clash between residents of Nyinahin and Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) officers in the Ashanti Region on April 24, 2025, has surfaced online.
The confrontation reportedly stemmed from a disagreement over a mourner wearing a military accoutrement.
The GAF officers demanded its removal, which escalated tensions. Tragically, the clash resulted in the death of one resident, Akwasi Lala, also known as Kushivi and left three others injured.
In the widely circulated video, chaos ensues as numerous youths are seen running helter-skelter in the streets amidst sounds of gunfire. Others in the video appear to be gathering in an attempt to confront the officers.
Meanwhile, preliminary police investigations have revealed that “a police investigative team was dispatched to the scene and retrieved spent shell casings as part of ongoing forensic investigations.
“The body of the deceased has been sent to the Nyinahin Community Mortuary, where an autopsy is expected to be conducted,” according to a police statement released on April 24, 2025.
