On their way to Jacobu, the teenage pillion riders lured Osei to enter the bush to take their hidden cassava.
Osei who new he was carrying saints to Jacobu never hesitated as he did just to their command.

“We had a call from Fiankomah after several hours in search for Osei and his Motorbike, moments after the call, we moved in groups to actually confirm such a terrible news. On our way to the crime scene, we had another call claiming that we have bypassed the police vehicle hence we should return. Upon our return, we met the police vehicle with the body of the deceased rapped with a black rubber in the bucket of the vehicle. We, however, followed them to their station.
When we got there, we realized that our brother has sustained multiple injuries after the body was opened to us for identification”, he narrated.
Prior to the pandemonium that erupted at the police station, some youths believed to be workers at one of the washing bays at Fiankomah had claim that they saw these two guys pulling off rubber bands covering a newly bought Motorbike at their premises. After series of contemplation among themselves, they approached the two young guys bombarding them with series of questions as to why they are doing that.
Without any evidence as to whether the Motorbike belongs to the teenagers or not, staff at the bay pounce on them beating them away as they were later handed over to the Assembly member at Fiankomah after the duo had confessed that they have stolen the Motorbike and killed the rider.
The Assembly member then led them to the Jacobu police station for further investigations.
After the duo were handed over to the police, the police picked them up to lead them to the crime scene upon which the police realized that they have killed Osei with various wounds hidden in a rubber in the bush.
Some youths at the Odaho community in an interaction with Obuasi based Shaft FM noted that if Justice refuses to prevail, they will act accordingly.

“I have lost something dear to my heart and I pray the Almighty deals with all the perpetrators”, she said.
Akwasi Boame, father of the deceased expressing how restless he has become upon been fed with such a disheartening news said”,
” I’m left along with my creator and I think only God can heal my wounds for me”.
