One person has been shot dead during a joint operation by the military and police in Nkaseim, Ahafo Region, on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.
The deceased has been identified only as Agya Yaw, reportedly in his early thirties.
Adom News’ Sammy Asare reported that the body has been deposited at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Hwidiem, while details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting remain unclear.
The operation was part of a wider security crackdown across Hwidiem, Goaso, Kenyasi, and surrounding communities following an attack on the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) taskforce.
Heavily armed military and police personnel were deployed to apprehend suspects believed to have been involved in the assault on the taskforce near Bronikrom.
The heightened security presence prompted a self-imposed curfew in the communities, with residents staying indoors for fear of potential confrontations.
