Flanked by some well-built men who are part of his task force, Richard Kwasi Ofori, popularly known as King Zuba, was seen instructing his team to take away the food, which had apparently been displayed on a pavement to attract potential customers.
He was then seen scolding the food vendor for disobeying a directive he had issued earlier, cautioning her not to show up with her items to sell there. His men, without hesitation, carried out the order and were seen carrying the food away into a waiting vehicle.

Kumasi Mayor King Zuba sweeps streets
On Tuesday, November 18, 2025, King Zuba stormed the Kejetia Market, where he was seen sweeping a street.
