An alleged kidnapping of two children led to the lynching of a 28-year-old man in Adiembra in the Ashanti region’s Adansi Asokwa District.
Isaac Bans, a calm welder, was playing with some kids on Saturday when he was attacked, according to a relative, Eric Addo.
According to Isaac K. Normanyo of Adom News, who described the events, the mother of the children accused the deceased of being a thief when she spotted him with the children.
People in the neighbourhood upon hearing this loud cry started assaulting him.
According to Mr Normanyo, the attackers used blades and other shard objects to assault the deceased.
He said Isaac Bans was subsequently dragged to a nearby mechanic shop where his attackers poured dirty oil into his nose until he was unconscious.
Meanwhile, the police have since arrested 10 people including the leader of the group, Solonko, and a woman.
