The deceased persons were identified as 38-year-old Awudu Osman and Lukman
In the case of Osman, police officers had been dispatched to his residence to search for a pistol he was said to be hiding.
The police alleged that Osman and his accomplice attempted to escape in handcuffs after their arrest hence they were gunned down.

The Member of Parliament for Asawase, Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka raised the matter on the floor of Parliament on Friday and requested that the Minister of Interior should be summoned to speak to the matter.
“After the police had arrested three others, the names of the two were mentioned that they were aiding them with guns. The police went in to arrest them but after a search of their residence, they couldn’t find any guns. They had been in custody as the police tried to get information.

KUMASI AND ALMOST THE WHOLE OF THE ASHANTI REGION IS UNDER SIEGE BECAUSE OF THESE RUTHLESS AND SAVAGE ARMED ROBBERS. MAJORITY OF THESE ARRESTED AND SUSPECTED ARMED ROBBERS ARE KNOWN TO BE HIDING AT MUNTAKAS CONSTITUENCY. THESE SAVAGES AND HEARTLESS ARMED ROBBERS HAVE KILLED, TERRORIZED AND MAIMED THEIR VICTIMS. DURING JOHN MAHAMAS PRESIDENCY THESE THUGS HAD A FIELD DAY BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING NDC'S DIRTY WORK OF INTIMIDATION, SNATCHING BALLOT BOXES AND MURDER. THE NDC HAVE ALWAYS HAD A UNHOLY PACT AND LIFE TIME PARTNERSHIP WITH THESE MISFITS BECAUSE THEIR ELECTORAL CHANCES HAVE BEEN ENHANCED. IT'S SHAMEFUL FOR A LAWMAKER TO OVERTLY DEFEND THESE BRUTAL AND BEASTLY ELEMENTS WHO HAVE WREAKED SO MUCH HAVOC, MISERY AND SORROW ON INNOCENT AND DEFENCELESS GHANAIANS. I'M NOT BLAMING MUNTAKA ALONE BECUSE HE BELONGS TO A PARTY /FRATERNITY OF GANSTERISM AND LAWLESSNESS BEING THE NDC. FROM THE FOUNDER OF THE NDC TO A LITTLE BOY WAVING THE NDC FLAG THE RESPECT FOR RULE OF LAW HAS NEVER BEEN EMBRACED BUT RATHER REJECTED!!!
