Citi News reported that the mob found bloodstains and blood-soaked clothes at his home.

The mob’s actions were reportedly triggered by the murder of Diana Asante, a 22-year-old mobile money vendor.

Asante had gone missing on December 17, 2024, and was discovered three days later, wrapped in a bedspread.

Ankomah was also known as a food vendor in the area. He reportedly confessed to the killings under duress and alleged that two prominent individuals in the district had contracted him to kill.
