KUMASI, GHANA – Abdul-Malik Azenbe, the Kusasi Chief of the Ashanti Region and Chief of the Kadi Divisional Area in Binduri, was reportedly shot and killed by unknown assailants on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. The incident occurred at his residence near the Asawase F-line community centre at approximately 8:40 pm.
Eyewitnesses recounted that two men arrived at the scene on a motorbike, with one assailant armed with an AK-47 rifle. The gunman opened fire on Chief Azenbe before both individuals fled the area.
Azenbe, who had been enskinned as Kadi Naaba just three months prior, was immediately rushed to the Manhyia District Hospital. He was subsequently transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe, visited the bereaved family later the same evening, assuring them of a comprehensive investigation to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.
