On 20th November 2021, the convict attacked the residence of the late Michael Dela Agbo Klu and his family at gunpoint at Atasemanso, Kumasi. During the robbery, the convict stole two mobile phones, an ASUS Zenbook laptop, and a cash amount of GH¢ 1,500. Tragically, he shot and killed Mr. Klu, aged 43, a pharmacist and building contractor.

Following this incident, on 30th December 2021, police received intelligence regarding a planned robbery in the Atasemanso area. A surveillance operation was swiftly initiated. On 31st December 2021, at 2:20 a.m., a police team arrested Dominic Afriyie and three others in a Toyota Corolla saloon car with registration number AS 5970-20.
