He died on the spot.<br \/>\nConfirming  the story to Daily Guide, the Public Relations Office of the Accra  Regional Police Command, ASP Cyprian Zenge, indicated that the deceased,  Nii Kwartey Djan, was traveling with his junior brother Enoch Kwartey  Martey from the village to Accra in his Nissan Land Rover with  registration number GW 9777V on Sunday evening. \u201cUpon reaching the  railway lane area near the Central Gospel Church, a gang of young men on  board a white and yellow Kia Pride taxi cub with an unknown  registration number, laid ambush and fired at his car indiscriminately,  mercilessly killing him instantly.\u201d<br \/>\nHe disclosed that the  deceased\u2019s junior brother Enoch Kwartey Martey, who sustained an injury  in the head, was rushed to the Police Hospital for treatment.<br \/>\nASP Zenge averred that the police were making efforts to arrest the perpetrators of the act.<br \/>\nMeanwhile,  when Daily Guide visited the residence of the deceased around 1:00pm  Monday morning, a large crowd had gathered at the house, weeping; while  some consoled the family.<br \/>\nThe deceased\u2019s two wives, together with  their five children, who could not control their emotions, accused one  Achia for the act.<br \/>\nAccording to the Dzaasetse of Achiaman, Nii Quaye  Mensah I, there was a chieftaincy dispute in the town involving the  deceased\u2019s house and that of another person by name Nii Achai II.<br \/>\nHe  alleged that the Achai house claimed to be custodians of the land and  frequently attacked the deceased\u2019s family. He averred that the matter  was taken to the Ga Traditional Council where the ruling, seven years  ago, went in favour of the late chief, as the man to rule the people of  Achiaman.<br \/>\n\u201cNii Achia II, the self-acclaimed chief, also an uncle to the deceased, then took the matter to the Dodowa House of Chiefs.\u201d<br \/>\nHe  maintained that \u201cthis is not the first time a member of the Kwartey  Djan house has been attacked. \u201cYears ago, the Asafoatse of the town,  Yaaletse Badja was killed mysteriously by unknown assassins in his  house. His junior brother, who succeeded him, by name Yaatei Badja, was  also killed in under similar circumstances. But as at now, the police  have not been able to arrest any person for the act.\u201d<br \/>\nHe appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to come to their aid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The town of Achiaman in the Ga West Municipality near Amasaman, a suburb of Accra, is at a standstill following the gruesome murder of the chief of the area, Nii Kwartey Djan I, on the outskirts of the town Sunday evening.
