The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has deployed a special investigations team to support the Ashanti Region Police Command with ongoing investigations into the death of Senegalese Cheith Toure at Kumasi.

The special team is made up of homicide investigators, forensic experts and intelligence officers.

So far, police have gathered that October 16, 2025, one Issah who claimed to be the deceased's brother, took the deceased to the Manhyia Government Hospital, with several abdominal injuries, alleging that the victim had been involved in an accident.

Later, Issah deposited Toure's body at the Ebenezer Mortuary at Tafo, Kumasi, after he was pronounced dead on arrival by hospital authorities.

A police statement assured the public that "a thorough investigation will be conducted to unravel the case and any perpetrators brought to justice".
