Zongo youth at Asawasi in Ashanti Region are calling for the removal of Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Kwasi Mensah Duku, over the killing of seven youth.
The seven were killed after police claimed they were armed robbers who had engaged them in a shootout.

An investigative report published by the government, however, exonerated the deceased of the accusation.
The report also recommended the interdiction of the 21 police personnel who were involved in the shooting at Poano, near Manso Nkwanta.
The youth, however, argue authorities are making scapegoats of the junior officers while the commander who sanctioned the operation which led to the death of their relatives goes scot-free.
