Two young men, aged 20-25, were beaten to death, and a vehicle was burned to ashes following a major communal fight between Broadekwano and Asisiriwa communities in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, has sparked tension between the two communities, prompting police officers to guard the area to prevent reprisal attacks.
Speaking to OTEC News Reporter Kwame Agyenim Boateng , Asisiriwa Assembly Member Hon. Prince Boateng revealed that a feud between a young man from Asisiriwa and one from Broadekwano escalated into violence.
“Youth from Broadekwano launched attacks on Asisiriwa youth, destroying and looting property on the streets,” he said.
Hon. Boateng claimed the Asisiriwa youth acted in self-defense, as the Broadekwano attackers were targeting anyone on the streets.
“Two of the attackers were caught and lynched by Asisiriwa youth,” he added.
A commercial sprinter bus belonging to an Asisiriwa resident was also burned to ashes after the driver sent passengers to Broadekwano.
Police have been notified and launched an investigation into the matter.
