Asokwa, Ashanti Region — Wednesday, April 22, 2026

The Presiding Member for Asokwa Municipality who double as assembly member for Ahinsan Estate, Nana Yaw Wiredu, escaped injury Tuesday after his vehicle was attacked by stray cattle while he was driving.

Speaking on Kumasi based Akoma FM’s morning show _*Mempotem*_ with host Sir John on Wednesday, April 22, Nana Yaw Wiredu said the cattle damaged his vehicle during the incident.

He said the same cattle had earlier attacked a young woman by the roadside who is currently receiving medical treatment.

Nana Yaw Wiredu told Akoma FM that the Assembly has discussed the issue of stray animals in its General Assembly meetings, but lacks personnel to remove the cattle from the streets.

Areas experiencing the challenge include the Asokwa-Oforikrom bypass, Asokwa Interchange, and areas close to Mayanka and Kaase.

He announced that the Assembly is ready to employ persons willing to support efforts to clear stray cattle from the streets.
