There is uneasiness at Lower Dixcove in the Ahanta West Municipality as reports suggest the Paramount Chief of the area, Nana Kwasi Agyemang, is alleged to have been stripped naked and abducted by unidentified men.
A relative of the chief told Empire FM that the assailants used dynamite to destroy the heavily built gate leading to his house which gave them access to carry out their operations.
The operation which started around 2 am Monday, July 22nd lasted for a little over 30 mins. Power in the town is reportedly affected as the transformer was blown up by the men who assaulted the chief.
Distress calls made to the Agona-Nkwanta and other security agencies could not yield results at the time, but the police later discovered him at the camp of the assailants. It is unclear the cause of the attack.
Western Regional Police Command, DSP Olivia Diku told Starr FM that chief sustained machete wounds and he is receiving treatment at the hospital with four others who were captured with him.
''Police went to the scene and realized the gate of the house has been broken into. Information had it that the people were sent by the chief of upper Dixcove Nana Hema VI. Police went to the palace and realized that nobody was in the palace, all had fled but they heard sounds coming from the upper room in the palace and forced the door opened. Nana Agyeman and four of his people were found and had been assaulted and were rescued and sent to Effia Nkwanta Regional hospital for treatment. Calm has been restored in the area and police are patrolling in lower Dixcove''.
