Offinso

Offinso is a town in the Offinso Municipal Assembly of the Ashanti Region in Ghana. Offinso is about twelve minutes drive from Kumasi, the capital of Ashanti Region; due to its closeness to the capital of the Region, many of its indigenous people have relocated to Kumasi but there are still more people living in Offinso. The indigenous people of this town belong to the Asante tribe - the Asante Culture dominates in the town. Offinso is believed to be the anglicised version of 'ɔfenso'.
