The key suspect\u2019s vehicle impounded by the police<\/strong><\/p>\nThe
\npolice have intensified their search for the man suspected to be privy to the
\ndeath of Otumfuo\u2019s Asamponhene, Oheneba Kwadwo Aforduor.<\/p>\n
The
\npopular chief was found gruesomely murdered last week in his black Land Cruiser
\non the outskirts of Ejura in the Ashanti Region, throwing residents of Kumasi into
\na state of shock.<\/p>\n
Person of Interest<\/strong><\/p>\nThe police
\nhave already declared that the main person of interest in the case is one Sadat
\nMohammed, 38, popularly called Alhaji or Mallam, who is married to a queen mother
\nin Kumasi.<\/p>\n
Sources
\nat the Ashanti Regional Police Command have said since the unfortunate murder
\nof the chief, the Alhaji\u2019s phones have been switched off and cannot be reached.<\/p>\n
Benin & Mali<\/strong><\/p>\nThe
\nAlhaji is said to have links in Benin and Mali but there is no official
\ninformation that he has left Ghana, even though the police said he and his wife
\ncannot be found in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
Investigations
\nmade by the police so far, had indicated that Alhaji was a close friend of the
\nlate traditional leader.<\/p>\n
The
\nAsamponhene, according to the police, visited Alhaji in his house at Odeneho Kwadaso
\non Sunday morning. Later, the two friends travelled together on that same day.<\/p>\n
Some
\nhours later, the body of the chief was found in his black Land Cruiser vehicle
\nat Ebuom on the main Ejura-Nkoranza highway in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
The
\npolice gathered that Alhaji then vanished with his wife in a taxi, even though
\nthey own a fleet of cars.<\/p>\n
Alhaji\u2019s Residence<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter
\nseveral attempts to locate Alhaji had proved futile, the police stormed the
\nhouse again and towed away Alhaji\u2019s white Land Cruiser car to the police
\nheadquarters in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> has gathered that some people spotted Alhaji\u2019s white Land Cruiser car
\nclosely following Asamponhene\u2019s black Land Cruiser around Ejura on Sunday
\nafternoon.<\/p>\nThe white
\nLand Cruiser is not yet registered even though the provisional number plate
\nshows that it was cleared from the Tema Port.<\/p>\n
Supposed Murder Scene<\/strong><\/p>\nThe
\nAsamponhene was found dead in his Land Cruiser vehicle with registration
\nnumber GC 7212-16, on the outskirts of Ejura on Sunday August 18, 2019 and
\ninitial reports had suggested he died through an accident.<\/p>\n
But top police investigators that
\nstormed the accident scene at Ebuom on the main Ejura-Nkoranza highway then
\nruled out the possibility of the vehicle getting involved in an accident.<\/p>\n
Deleting Evidence<\/strong><\/p>\nPolice
\ninvestigators have said they are not ruling out the fact that the killer tried
\nto burn the chief and his Land Cruiser vehicle in order to cover up his illegal
\naction.<\/p>\n
A gallon,
\ncontaining petrol and matches (two objects usually used to start a fire), were
\nfound at the scene where the chief\u2019s body was found.<\/p>\n
Prospective Witness<\/strong><\/p>\nA prospective
\nwitness in the case has told the police that the prominent chief left the house
\non Sunday in Kumasi and said he was going to visit someone in one of the
\nsuburbs also in Kumasi and within few hours news came in that his body had been
\nfound at Ejura.<\/p>\n
On the
\nscene where the body was found, there were blood stains in the Land Cruiser which
\nwas not fresh, suggesting the body had been dumped there.<\/p>\n
They also disclosed that the vehicle\u2019s front windscreen had developed visible cracks, and checks by fire experts indicated that the massive heat, produced by the fire, forced the windscreen to crack.<\/p>\n
