Police in the Ashanti North Region are investigating the tragic killing of Nana Osei Bonsu, the Kyidomhene of Brofoyedru, whose body was discovered in a pool of blood near his vehicle on the Boanim-Morim road.

The incident, which occurred on April 1, 2025, has left residents in shock. Witnesses say the chief was on his way to deliver goods when armed attackers ambushed him, forcibly removed him from his car, and shot him at close range before fleeing the scene.

While the reason behind the attack remains unknown, initial reports indicate that his mobile phone was destroyed, but none of his belongings were taken.

Richard Nketia, the Assemblymember for the Dompem Electoral Area, has urged authorities to bolster security along the route to prevent future violence.

Nana Osei Bonsu’s body has been transferred to the Mampong Government Hospital, where an autopsy will be conducted as investigations continue.
