Two scrap dealers have been lynched at Ntensere in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District following allegations of child theft.
Reports indicate that the two men, identified as Alhasan and Nagolo, had gone to the community to buy scrap materials when residents accused them of attempting to steal a three‑year‑old child.
According to local authorities, there is a growing danger of mob justice in parts of the Ashanti Region.
The Unit Committee Vice‑Chairperson for the area, Saramatu Zackaria, confirmed the incident and described how the victims were killed before she arrived at the scene.
“I was attending a wedding ceremony when I received information about a mob action in my electoral area. I rushed to the scene, but before I arrived, the victims had already been killed, leaving their lifeless bodies behind,” she told the media.
The suspicion quickly escalated into violence, with the pair reportedly beaten to death. Their motorcycle was also set ablaze. Authorities have not yet reported any arrests, and investigations are ongoing.
Community leaders and law‑enforcement officials have been urged to act swiftly to prevent further incidents of mob justice.
