Ato Kyinam, a man in his early 30s, was shot and killed by an unidentified gunman in Mankessim on Friday afternoon.
The incident unfolded as the community was gearing up for the Odambea Festival, a significant cultural event for the Nkusukum Traditional Area.
The festival, which spans 20 communities—including Biriwa, Anomabo, Kromantsir, and Saltpond—has Yamoransa as its focal point.
