The complainant reported that a group of about 15 men, wearing red bands, allegedly stormed the palace on the same day at about 9:10 a.m. and damaged the main door to take possession of the facility.
Police said officers proceeded to the scene after receiving the information and found a group of people at the palace forecourt. The main entrance gate was damaged, with the right section removed and lying on the ground.
The Police retrieved three pump-action guns loaded with 14 rounds of BB ammunition and one single-barrel gun from the Omanhene’s side, which were taken as exhibits.
Preliminary investigations indicate that members of the Bosea family, aligned to the Drobo Queen Mother, claimed they had information that the Omanhene intended to install sub-chiefs and said their presence was to prevent the installation. They were reportedly resisted by supporters of the Omanhene.
The Police further stated that a clash occurred between supporters of the Omanhene and the Queen Mother at the palace forecourt following the misunderstanding.
Investigations are ongoing.
The Police also stated that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend perpetrators involved in the disturbances. The Command has restored calm in the area and urged all factions to resort to due process in resolving disputes, warning that it will deal with anyone who breaks the law.
