In the Ashanti Region, the chief of New Akrofuom in the Adansi Asokwa district has been arrested by the police for allegedly trying to sodomize a 17-year-old boy.
According to eyewitnesses, the traditional leader of the community reportedly entered the young boy’s room with ill intentions, but the boy alerted other community members.
Sensing danger, the chief fled the scene, and community members subsequently gathered at his residence, attempting to take the law into their own hands. This incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, October 23.
Police officers later arrived at the scene and took the suspect into custody.
Emmanuel Achirem, the assembly member for the New Akrofuom electoral area, confirmed the incident and revealed that the chief had faced previous accusations of similar misconduct.
