Oheneba Kwadwo Aforduor <\/strong><\/p>\n

It appears that the Otumfuo\u2019s
\nAsamponghene, Oheneba Kwadwo Aforduor, who was gruesomely murdered on Sunday,
\nwas killed in Kumasi and his body dumped on the outskirts of faraway Ejura, new
\nreports emerging indicates.<\/p>\n

According to a source, a
\nprospective witness in the case has told the police that the prominent chief
\nleft the house on Sunday in Kumasi and said he was going visit someone in one
\nof the suburbs also in Kumasi and within a few hours,
\nnews came in, that his body has been found in Ejura.<\/p>\n

The blood stains found in the
\nLand cruiser vehicle on Sunday evening where the chief lied motionless was not
\nfresh, suggesting the body had been dumped there.<\/p>\n

The source said the body was
\nconcealed in between the front and the back seats of the car and added that it
\ncould have been difficult for anybody including the police to detect it at a
\ncheck point if indeed he was killed in Kumasi and transported to Ejura.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, there are reports
\nthat the killers tried to set the chief and his car on fire to delete evidence but
\nthe fire was not extensive.<\/p>\n

The Asamponghene <\/strong><\/p>\n

The late Asamponghene,
\ntraditionally, renders some crucial services to the occupant of the Golden
\nStool, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. He was also the owner of a popular
\nrestaurant and pub, the Golden Eye, formerly known as X5.<\/p>\n

Oheneba Aforduor was found
\ndead in his black Land cruiser vehicle on the outskirts of Ejura on Sunday
\nevening. It was initially believed that he lost his life during a fatal
\naccident but investigations by the police later proved otherwise.<\/p>\n

The Ashanti Regional Police
\nCommunications Director, ASP Godwin Ahianyo, in a press statement, did not rule
\nout a possible murder in the chief\u2019s death and appealed to the public to assist
\nthe police with information to help arrest the killers.<\/p>\n

The Ashanti Regional Police
\nCommand, who are not leaving any stone unturned in their resolve to apprehend
\nthe killers to face the law, managed to arrest about four people for
\nquestioning on Sunday, few hours after the chief\u2019s body had been found.<\/p>\n

Otumfuo Not Briefed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong> gathered that the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has not,
\ntraditionally, been informed about the death of the late Asamponghene. The
\nAsante Monarch was expected to travel abroad on Tuesday and he is expected to
\nbe briefed about the death when he returns.<\/p>\n
