In a dramatic development, police have taken into custody two people who may be connected to the removal of the sacred 300-year-old cola tree, which chief priest Komfo Anokye originally planted.
Joseph Assuming, the District Chief Executive (DCE) of Feyiase, made the discovery, according to a November 10, 2023, Chronicle article.
Following a report by GhanaWeb on November 7, the arrests took place on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.
The Chronicle’s narrative confirmed the arrested people’s involvement in the incident that resulted in their apprehension by law authorities, despite the fact that it did not provide particular details about their identities or motivations.
Reports indicate that Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has called the chief of Feyiase in addition to the arrests in reaction to the historic tree’s fall.
Because of its connection to Komfo Anokye, the 300-year-old cola tree is valued for its historical and cultural significance and serves as a community emblem of legacy.
