In connection with the killing of a 28-year-old man in Ayiem in the Western Region, on Friday, August 25, 2023, the police have detained one suspect.
The suspect has been identified as Emmanuel Quayco. Five other alleged accomplices are currently on the run, according to a preliminary investigation by the police.
Police report indicates that when the suspect shot and killed the deceased, Kwadwo Amoh, alias Mallam, he used a single-barrel gun loaded with an AA cartridge. They were allegedly demonstrating the strength of their alleged spiritual powers.
While efforts are being made to apprehend the other five suspects, one suspect is currently being held by police in their custody to assist with the investigation. The suspects have been warned to report to the nearest police station or risk having their hiding places searched.
Background
A young Ghanaian man was inadvertently shot to death while claiming immunity from gunshots and daring a shooter to aim directly at him due to his supposed fortification.
The shooter fired a rifle into the young man’s stomach area, causing him to fall on his back as onlookers panicked and called for medical assistance. A video of the incident has been widely shared on social media, particularly on Twitter. The location and date of the incident are currently unknown.
The one-minute and 41-second video shows a masked individual boasting about immunity to gunshots and threatening those who resort to violence. He then proceeds to demonstrate his immunity by having a shooter fire a live bullet at him. Unfortunately, the demonstration goes awry, and the victim falls to the ground with a gunshot wound to his stomach.
The masked guy shouts “Hei Jesus” twice and orders “let’s take him to the hospital.”
