Obuasi’s Strong Soldier Dawuda, Known as Ninja, Gains Freedom After Over 19 Years Behind Bars

After spending more than 19 years in prison, Dawuda, famously known in Obuasi as “Ninja,” has finally regained his freedom, marking an emotional moment for the entire community. Once a name that sparked fear and admiration, Ninja was known for his unmatched strength, resilience, and street influence. Nicknamed “Strong Soldier,” he was a figure that symbolized both power and controversy in Obuasi.

His arrest over 19 years ago shocked many, as he vanished from the streets into the silence of confinement. Few believed he would ever return, yet his release has brought mixed emotions—relief, curiosity, and even excitement. Residents who remember his fierce presence are now eager to see what path he chooses after two decades away.

Sources close to him say Ninja has undergone a massive transformation behind bars and is now focused on turning his life around. He reportedly wants to use his story to inspire the youth of Obuasi, warning them about the consequences of a reckless lifestyle.

Obuasi now watches closely, hoping that its “Strong Soldier” returns not as a fighter of the streets, but as a builder of change and peace.
