One person has been lynched and another left in critical condition following an alleged motorbike theft in Agona Kwanyarko, located in the Agona West District of the Central Region

According to sources, the suspects were given a hot chase by local 'Okada' riders.

The suspects were apprehended at Awutu Kwame Whettey, leading to one of them being lynched by an angry mob.

Eyewitnesses recounted to Adom News that the two suspects had initially hired a motorbike rider to transport them from Kwanyarko to Obrachire.
