The Eastern South Regional Police Command has successfully restored calm in the Boadua community after tensions arose from a chieftaincy dispute.
In a statement issued on December 16, 2025, the Ghana Police Service explained that the unrest began when the Bretuo Abusuapanin of Boadua reported that members of the Boadua Aduana Family had forcibly entered the Boadua Chief’s Palace on December 14. The group reportedly damaged the main entrance and destroyed a shrine in an attempt to take control of the palace.
Police promptly responded to the incident, deployed officers to the scene, and successfully restored order in the community.
Eight individuals—Baffour Kwame Agyei, Kwabena Twum, Baffour Kwame Annor, Baffour Kofi Dankwa, Maxwell Frimpong, Eric Dankwah, Nana Kwaku Frimpong, Baffour Kwasi Ampaabeng, and Baffour Yaw Anya—have been arrested in connection with the incident to aid ongoing investigations.
The suspects have been granted police enquiry bail and are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
