The Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation into an alleged attack on the convoy of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in Techiman, Bono East Region.

The incident reportedly occurred as the Asantehene was returning from a funeral in Nkoranza, with reports suggesting that stones were thrown at vehicles in his convoy by individuals, allegedly local youth from Techiman.

In a statement, the police confirmed they are actively investigating the incident and have engaged with the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, as well as other stakeholders in Techiman, to assist in the inquiry.

The attack has raised concerns due to the Asantehene’s prominent role and the longstanding tradition of peaceful relations between communities in the region. Authorities have called for calm and cooperation from the public as they work to determine the full details of the incident.

“We urge the public to remain calm and cooperate with the police as the investigation continues,” the statement concluded.
