The Ghana Police Service has arrested four suspects, including one woman, in connection with the murder of the Akwamuhene of Tanoso in the Bono East Region.
The suspects, identified as Issifu Addae (also known as Akwasi Addae), Stephen Gyamfi, Augustine Arhinful, and Martha Mansah, were apprehended following preliminary investigations into the chief’s killing.
According to a press release issued by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on November 13, 2025, the deceased had been destooled as the Akwamuhene of Tanoso but rejected the decision, leading to multiple litigations and disputes with the family.
The four suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations. The police have also identified four named additional persons of interest and are intensifying efforts to locate and arrest them.
The statement, signed by Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, Public Relations Officer of the CID, assured that the remaining suspects will be brought to justice to face the full rigours of the law.
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the murder continue.
