In a shocking incident in the Ahafo Ano North constituency of the Ashanti region, *Hon. Habib Mohammed,* also known as *Alhaji Kiti,* the Assembly Member for the *Katabo Electoral Area,* was viciously attacked in Tepa by unknown assailants wielding machetes and sticks.
The harrowing assault took place on Tuesday evening around 8 PM shortly after Hon. Mohammed had finished work. He recounted the terrifying encounter, stating that as he was heading home, a group of armed men in a vehicle confronted him. They forcefully knocked him down, prompting him to quickly get back up and flee for his safety. The assailants pursued him menacingly with machetes and sticks. Fortunately, *Hon. Mohammed* managed to escape physical harm, but another individual was not as lucky and sustained injuries in the attack.

He disclosed that he was carrying money at the time of the assault; however, the attackers did not attempt to rob him, raising suspicions that the incident was politically motivated.
The injured individual has been admitted to the Tepa Government Hospital for medical treatment, while the Tepa Divisional Police Command has launched a thorough investigation into the matter.
