The Abene Council has petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to investigate what it calls unlawful and uncustomary actions by officers at the Kwahu Omanhene Palace in Abene on Monday, November 17, 2025.

According to the petition dated November 26, 2025, the Council said the early-morning raid brought public disgrace to the Abene Stool.

“Given the grave nature and the complete disregard for law and order… the arrest of the staff of the Palace and their detention, as well as the arrest of Daasebre Akuamoah Boateng III and the Kwahuhemaa, Kwahuman stands disgraced within the Institution of Chieftaincy,” it stated.

According to the Council, police officers allegedly fired gunshots, assaulted Palace staff and the Queenmother, and removed the number plates from the official Palace vehicle.

Daasebre Akuamoah Boateng III, who was in Accra at the time, rushed to Abene and witnessed the aftermath. When he questioned the police about their presence, he received no response and was subsequently arrested along with the Kwahuhemaa, his driver, and a Palace staff member. They were later released without charges.

The Council also urged authorities to grant “immediate supervised access” to the Omanhene, Kwahuhemaa, and staff to retrieve personal belongings, including money, bank cards, clothes, medication, and vehicles.
