The Sekyere Kumawu District Security Council (DISEC) has refuted media reports suggesting heightened insecurity in Kumawu due to the alleged use of armed men by the Paramount Chief, Nana Barima Sarfo Tweneboa Kodua.
In a statement signed by the District Chief Executive and Chairman of DISEC, Kwasi Amankwaa, the council described the reports as false and misleading, stressing that Kumawu remains peaceful and united.
According to DISEC, individuals seen accompanying the Omanhene at certain events are cultural groups, not vigilantes or armed men. Their role, the statement explained, is strictly ceremonial during high-profile occasions such as funerals and traditional events, and they are not permanently based in the community.
“There has been no breach of peace, no intimidation, and no disruption of daily life within the town or its surrounding areas,” the statement said. It added that DISEC continues to work with state security agencies to maintain law and order across the district.
The council urged the public to disregard the false publication and cautioned individuals and media outlets against spreading such reports, warning that they could undermine the reputation of traditional authorities and disturb community unity.
“Kumawu is peaceful, Kumawu is safe, and Kumawu will continue to thrive in unity and development,” the statement concluded.
