A 38-year-old man known as Asabil Asawe has been shot dead by nomadic herdsmen at Asratoase near Agogo in the Asante Akyem North District in the Ashanti region.

Reports indicated that the sad incident occurred on Sunday when the deceased was working on his sugar-cane farm.

In an interview with DFM, the District Police Commander of Asante Akim North, ASP James Ameka Asawe, explained that the Fulani herdsman shot the deceased in his lower abdomen.

“The shooting is believed to be a retaliation to a recent gun battle between one Mr. Jacob Azabil and six Fulani herdsmen during which two of the herdsmen died with one on life support.

“It is quite unfortunate the police seem handicapped in this situation but there is a poor road network to the area which makes it inaccessible; the area is a swampy-marshy area and so in the rainy season, you can’t get to the place,” he stated.

ASP Asawe disclosed that the farmer was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital with his body currently at the hospital morgue

Ada songor  Lagoon now, the lagoon seawater intake project which is a major investment project that should be facilitated by gov’t, now it has not been done for 30 years.

He pleaded with the government to get them a ‘permanent lagoon seawater intake system’, as a step to reducing their production cost.

According to Aaron Laweh Hushie, the Ada Songor lagoon depends on brine in the lagoon for salt production in commercial quantities.

Originally before the construction of the Akosombo dam, the lagoon was fed by brine in the Volta estuaries and the Volta River.

He noted that when the dam was constructed, the natural hydrological system was disrupted, hence the need for government to ensure the seawater intake project materialize.
