The Ghana Police Service has arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of the Akwamuhene of Tanoso in the Bono East Region. The suspects have been identified as Issifu Addae, alias Akwasi Addae; Stephen Gyamfi; Augustine Arhinful; and Martha Mansah.
Preliminary investigations suggest the deceased had been destooled as the Akwamuhene but had allegedly rejected the decision, leading to ongoing family litigations and disputes. The four suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
The police have also named four other individuals as persons of interest and are intensifying efforts to track them down. Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, Public Relations Officer for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), provided the update, assuring the public that the police are working diligently to bring all those involved to justice.
