The Ghana Police Service (GPS) has arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of the Akwamuhene of Tanoso in the Bono East Region.
In a press release signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo on Thursday, November 13, 2025, the suspects arrested include Issifu Addae (alias Akwasi Addae), Stephen Gyamfi, Augustine Arhinful and Martha Mansah.
Four other suspects have also been named as persons of interest and are being pursued by the police.
According to the GPS, preliminary investigations reveal that the deceased chief had been destooled but refused to accept the decision, leading to multiple litigations and disputes involving his family.
“The four suspects are currently in police custody assisting investigations.
Meanwhile, police have intensified efforts to track down the remaining suspects to face the full rigors of the law,” the statement read.
