Police in the Eastern South Region have launched an investigation into an alleged attempt by members of the Boadua Aduana Family to forcibly take over the Boadua Chief’s Palace.
The investigation follows a complaint filed on Saturday, December 14, 2025, by the Bretuo Abusuapanin of Boadua.
He alleged that members of the Aduana Family stormed the palace, damaged the main entrance, and attempted to destroy a shrine in an effort to wrest control of the palace from the Bretuo Family.
The eight suspects are Baffour Kwame Agyei Kwabena Twum, Baffour Kwame Annor, Baffour Kofi Dankwa, Maxwell Frimpong, Eric Dankwah, Nana Kwaku Frimpong, Baffour Kwasi Ampaabeng, and Baffour Yaw Anya, were arrested to assist with investigations.
Police have since granted the suspects enquiry bail, and they are expected to be arraigned before court on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
According to the police, their swift intervention restored calm at the palace and prevented the incident from escalating into a broader chieftaincy dispute within the Boadua community.
