Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mr Godwin Ahianyo said on June 9, this year, the Abuakwa Command picked up intelligence that Agyapong, a resident of Adamsu in the Bono Region, was in possession of human parts and was looking for a buyer in Kumasi.
