The Ghana Police Service has revealed, Nana Adwoa Gyamfua, the Kwahuhemaa, has been released following her abduction during an early morning raid at the palace of the Paramount Chief of the Kwahu Traditional Council.
The Ghana Police made this known in a post on X on Monday, November 17, 2025.
The Police post stated, “The Inspector-General of Police has directed the release of the Queen Mother of Kwahu, following an operation by some officers this morning”.
“The IGP has further directed the Police Professional Standards Bureau to conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the operation, and any officers found culpable will be sanctioned. Meanwhile, security has been intensified in and around Kwahu to ensure the safety of all persons”, the post further stated.
This comes after reports that Nana Adwoa Gyemfua was abducted following a raid at the Palace of the Paramount Chief of the Kwahu Traditional Council at Abene.
Reports suggest the attack occurred on Monday, November 17, 25, around 4 a.m.
According to the information gathered, Armed men, reportedly dressed in police uniforms, claiming to be from the National Security, raided the Palace of the Paramount Chief of the Kwahu Traditional Council at Abene.
The official Toyota Land Cruiser of the Kwahuhene was taken during the raid.
Tracking information from the Toyota Land Cruiser revealed was en route to Accra.
The Nkawkaw and Kwahu Divisional Police Commands have said they had no knowledge of any operations conducted by the personnel who identified themselves as national security agents.
In related news, the Ghana Police Service has announced the arrest of four suspects for the murder of Nana Owusu Korkor, the destooled Akwamuhene of Tanoso in the Bono East Region.
According to the Police statement, the suspects were arrested between Monday, November 10, and Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
The suspects have been identified as Issifu Addae (alias Akwasi Addae), aged 48, Stephen Gyamfi, aged 55, Augustine Arhinful, aged 42, and Martha Mansah, aged 65.
The deceased had reportedly been destooled but contested the decision, leading to disputes.
According to police sources, all four suspects have denied any involvement in the killing during interrogation but are in custody, assisting investigations, while police pursue four others linked to the case.
The findings suggest the late destooled chief had been accused of misappropriating five gold bars belonging to the family, and also illegally selling family land.
The suspects Issifu Addae, Stephen Gyamfi, Sampson, and Fosu allegedly visited the disputed land to stop the developer from continuing work and threatened to teach the deceased a lesson.
The Police Investigators further suspect the newly installed Akwamuhene, Nana Akyeampong Duodu, might have masterminded the murder.
Nana Akyeampong Duodu is said to have travelled to the United States at the time of the murder to establish an alibi.
