Police in the Ashanti Region have arrested the chief of New Akrofuom in the Adansi Asokwa district on allegations of attempting to commit a sexual offense against a 17-year-old boy.
According to eyewitnesses, the traditional leader of the community reportedly entered the young boy’s room with the intention of engaging in such an act, but the young boy alerted other community members. Fearing for his safety, the chief fled the scene, but the community members subsequently went to his residence, where they attempted to take matters into their own hands.
