Severed head of Ekumfi chief recovered
The severed head of the 60-year-old Ekumfi Chief,
Nana Eguase has been found, Joy News has learnt.

Central Regional correspondent, Richard Kojo
Nyarko reported a suspect led a team of police men
to the location where the severed head had been
buried.

The killing of Nana Eguase sparked communal and
ethnic conflict in Ekumfi in the Central Region
between Fantes and Ewes.

Three people were killed after hours of gun
battle, with houses torched and properties
destroyed. Women and children fled their
communities for fear of being killed.

It took the intervention of combined military and
police personnel to restore law and order in the
area.

One suspect has been arrested for killing Nana
Eguase but his identity is yet to be made public.

Richard Kojo Nyarko said the police are yet to
brief the media on the matter.
