Members of a Concerned Zongo Youth in Kumasi have applauded the police for the swift action in arresting prime suspect in the killing of Asantehene’s sub-chief.

Mohammed Sadat, also known as Alhaji, was arrested last week in Burkina Faso over the death of Nana Kwadwo Afuduor.

At a press conference in Kumasi, the group said the Zongo community should not be tagged as a haven for criminals.

Spokesperson, Faisal Muniru, said rather, attention should be focused on the swift and professional manner the police apprehended the suspect.

The sentiments come ahead of a scheduled one-week observation of the late chief.

Police say he had hosted the late chief at his Odeneho Kwadaso residence on May 18, 2019, before the sub-chief was found dead on the Ejura –Nkoranza Road.

The group said the Zongo community will continue to work closely with the Asantehene to promote peace in the Ashanti region.
