Kumasi: Man Beaten To Death For Attempting To Steal ‘VIP Bus’ At Asafo

A man said to be in his mid-30s has reportedly been beaten to death for attempting to steal a Grand Bird bus at Asafo in the Ashanti Regional capital of Kumasi.

The incident is said to have occurred on the dawn of Wednesday, March 8, 2023.

The deceased according to reports entered the terminal of V.I.P Transport Company at about 4am, started the bus in question and attempted driving off with the Grand Bird bus with registration number GE 2304-10.

The driver’s assistant of the said bus upon taking notice pursued the suspect in a tricycle with the help of some members of the public.

The deceased at a point decided to ditch the moving bus but was apprehended by the mob who subjected him to severe beatings.

The abandoned bus which still in motion is reported to have damaged a car around the area before coming to a halt.

The suspect was beaten with objects resulting in his death shortly after the mob attack.

“When the driver and his mate were pursuing the suspect while driving the stolen bus, upon sensing danger, the suspect jumped from the bus. In the process the bus was moving without a driver and started hitting people in the vehicle Parking space. But luck eluded the deceased suspect and he was arrested with the support of some community members and was beaten to death. That’s all I can say about the incident,” an eyewitness told GHOne News.

The body of the deceased who died as a result of the mob action has since been conveyed to a morgue for preservation and investigation by the police at Asokwa.
