Police arrest four in connection with murder of deposed Tanoso chief

The Ghana Police Service has arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of the destooled Akwamuhene of Tanoso in the Bono East Region.

The suspects — Issifu Addae, alias Akwasi Addae; Stephen Gyamfi; Augustine Arhinful; and Martha Mansah — are currently in police custody assisting with investigations.

According to a police statement, four other individuals have been identified as persons of interest and are being pursued.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased had been destooled as the Akwamuhene of Tanoso but reportedly rejected the decision and engaged the royal family in multiple litigations and disputes over the stool.

Police say efforts are ongoing to track down the remaining suspects to ensure they face the full rigours of the law.
