Six individuals are currently receiving treatment at the hospital following a violent clash between residents of Kwahu Abetifi and a group of armed men who stormed the Abetifi Palace in an attempt to destool Kwahu Adontenhene Akyemfour Asiedu Agyemang III, the acting President of the Kwahu Traditional Area.

According to sources, tensions escalated when Obaapanyin Yaa Asantewaa, posing as the Abrewatia (chief’s wife) of the Kwahu area, arrived in Abetifi with a group of armed men.

Initially believed to be National Security operatives, the group escorted Yaa Asantewaa to the Abetifi Palace, where they detained Akyemfour Asiedu Agyemang III.

Yaa Asantewaa and her armed entourage then forcibly moved the acting chief to a nearby older palace, where she allegedly conducted traditional rites intended to destool him, including slaughtering a sheep as part of the ritual.

News of the attempted destoolment quickly spread, inciting local youth to gather in protest, armed with machetes.

The situation escalated into violence but was brought under control following the swift intervention of local law enforcement, supported by police and military personnel.

The authorities successfully prevented further violence and ensured the safety of all parties involved.

In response, traditional leaders in Abetifi performed their own rites, reaffirming Akyemfour Asiedu Agyemang III as the legitimate chief and restoring him to his position at the main Abetifi Palace.

The police have since initiated investigations into the incident and arrested Yaa Asantewaa and the armed men.

To prevent further violence, Yaa Asantewaa and her group were escorted under strict protection to the police station for safety.
