Police have arrested three  individuals allegedly connected to the  murder of a development Chief at Adeyman, Nii Tettey Saban, in the Ga West Municipality on June 8, 2017

The suspects have been identified as Asafoatse Nii Quaye Quartey, aged 39; Musah Mohammed, aged 28, and Rahim Yakubu, aged 20.

Nii Tettey Saban is alleged to have been killed over some chieftaincy issues. Two other persons also sustained various degrees of gunshot wounds in the attack.

Reports say the chief and some persons were performing rites to lift the ban on drumming and noise making on the fateful day, when some youth ambushed him and his entourage, shot sporadically and dragged him to a different location where he was beaten before being shot dead.

Public Relations Officer of the Accra Regional Police Command, ASP Effia Tenge, said the administration has begun rigorous investigations into the death of the deceased. She said the suspects were picked at their hideout around Ridge View Hotel, Kwabenya, where they had gone to engage in a similar attack.

A pistol and 17 rounds of ammunitions were retrieved from one of them. Two unregistered motorbikes, which were among a number of motorbikes suspected to have been used by the suspects during the invasion of the Ardeyman family stool house, were also retrieved
