Sgt Gyamasi and his colleague, Lance Corporal Awal Mohammed, both attached to the Motor, Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service at Kasoa met their untimely deaths while on duty on the Kasoa-Winneba highway.
According to reports, the suspects, said to be driving an unregistered Toyota Camry vehicle recklessly, shot the unarmed policemen after refusing to stop when the security officers signaled them to do so.

His sister explained that, the deceased, who was unarmed, received multiple gunshots, including a shot in the head.

What gives more credence to their suspicion, she noted, was that, when the deceased even rushed into a nearby grocery shop after being shot to take cover, the assailant followed and shot him twice to ensure he was indeed dead.
