A former Chairman of the Security Committee of Awutu Senya East, Alhaji Abubakr Alhassan has urged the media to be circumspect in their reportage of criminal activities in Kasoa.
According to him, Kasoa is gaining notoriety because sometimes some casualties that happen in towns nearby are ascribed to It.
He explained in an interview on the
Eyewitness News that “there are several occasions where crime happens in nearby towns but are tagged to Kasoa. When something happens at Budumburum, Ofankor and other jurisdictions, people tag Kasoa. I want to advise all media houses to be circumspect with the name tagging”.

Uncontrollable tears, shock and, at some point, rage were the emotions that were expressed as the family, friends and other sympathisers came together yesterday to bid 10-year-old Ishmael Mensah Abdallah, who was gruesomely murdered by his friends for ritual purposes last Saturday.
Ishmael, a Class Four pupil of the Maranatha Preparatory and Junior High School, was killed on Holy Saturday by two teenagers, Nicholas Kini, 18, and Felix Nyarko, 16, at Coca Cola, near Lamptey Mills, a suburb of Kasoa in the Central Region.
It was difficult for people to hold back their tears when the body of the lad, wrapped in black cloth and laid out on a stretcher, was brought to the family house for Muslim prayers before burial.
