The announcement, shared on the politician's official Instagram page on May 10, 2026, follows months of mourning after a tragic robbery incident that shook the Kumasi metropolis.
Amankwah passed away on February 18, 2026, after succumbing to injuries from a violent attack on February 13. The incident, which occurred at his residence in Ohwim-Amanfrom, led to a swift police operation that dismantled a carjacking syndicate known as the "Duku Syndicate".
While four suspects were initially linked to the crime, one was killed during a confrontation with the police, while others remain in custody assisting with ongoing investigations.
