A sub-Chief, Kyidomhene, of Brofoyedru in the Mampong Municipality of the Ashanti region, Nana Osei Bonsu, has been reportedly killed by unidentified people.
During an interview with Correspondent Nicholas Osei-Wusu, Assembly Member for the Mprim Electoral Area, Mr. Richard Nketiah, indicated that, while the reason for the murder could not be ascertained, the 48-year-old Kyidomhene was suspected to have been pulled from his car, with a temporary number plate, and shot from close range at the occiput.
The Assembly Member confirms that the body was found at the blue Toyota Corola front by individuals along the boundary of Mrim heading towards Asante Mampong at 3 am on Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
According to the Assembly Member, the chief was presumed to be traveling from Boanim to Asante Mampong through Mprim when he was assaulted and killed.
Mr. Nketiah reported that upon learning of the incident, he quickly ran to the scene and found that, a section of the road had been blocked and the door of the front seat forced open and that the sub Chief, his mauve lacoste 'T' shirt worn over black jeans shorts, was lying flat on the ground with his face in the blood.
According to the Assembly Member, aside from the mobile phone that could not be tracked immediately, there was no indication that, anything else had been taken away from him.
In an interview with GBC again, the Mampong Municipality Assembly Member for the Krobo Electoral Area where Brofoyedru is located, Yaw Takyi indicated that in his visit to the family of the deceased, he discovered that, the late Nana Osei Bonsu had just returned from the hometown after a visit last Sunday to Kumasi where he lives with his nuclear family.
He added that even though the extended family in Brofoyedru was aware that he had to go back to his wife, the wife asserted that he went away from home in Kumasi yesterday, (Monday 31st March) to his home.
It is thus suspected that it is on his way back to Br)foyedru that he was attacked and murdered
GBC's source at the Ashanti North Regional Police Command headquarters at Mampong has confirmed this occurrence and the fact that the body of the 48-year-old sub Chief is still at the Mampong Government Hospital morgue awaiting investigation to reveal circumstances of the killing.
