Two killed, one critically injured in violent gang clash at Mpaasaaso

Two persons have been killed and another is in critical condition following a violent gang clash at Mpaasaaso Number 2 in the Ahafo Ano South West District of the Ashanti Region. The incident occurred at about 3:00 a.m. on Friday, November 14, 2025.

The confrontation is reported to have involved rival gangs from Mpaasaaso Number 1 and Mpaasaaso Number 2, heightening tensions between the two communities.

Speaking to Citi News on Friday, November 14, the youth leader of Mpaasaaso Number 2, Kwadwo Asare, revealed that the community has witnessed similar violence in the past. He recalled a clash two years ago at Baniekrom, where three people were shot dead.

Mr. Asare further alleged that a man known only as Commander One, believed to have been training young men involved in violent acts, including beating residents and issuing threats, was among those killed in Thursday’s dawn clash.

No arrests have been made so far, and the motive behind the latest confrontation remains unclear. Police have begun investigations to uncover the cause of the violence and to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.
