The Ashanti North Regional Police Command has launched an investigation into the murder of the Kyidomhene of Brofoyedru in the Mampong traditional area.
The body of Nana Osei Bonsu was discovered in a pool of blood near his vehicle on the Boanim-Morim stretch on Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
Reports indicate that the chief was on his way to deliver some items when he was intercepted by unidentified gunmen, who dragged him out of his car and shot him at close range.
While the motive behind the murder remains unclear, it is noted that the deceased’s mobile phone was destroyed, though nothing else was taken from him.
Richard Nketia, the Assemblymember for the Dompem Electoral Area, confirmed the incident and called for increased police patrols along the Boanim-Morim stretch to prevent further occurrences.
The body of Nana Osei Bonsu has been sent to the Mampong Government Hospital for an autopsy as investigations continue.
