Nii Ayitey Konko, the Ngleshie Alata Sei Wulomo, was tragically shot and killed by unknown gunmen at the Jamestown Palace in Accra on Friday night. The incident is believed to be connected to a protracted chieftaincy dispute in the area.
Eyewitnesses reported that the revered traditional priest was attacked shortly after entering the palace by assailants who fled the scene. Police have since confirmed the killing and have launched an active manhunt for the suspects involved.
Nii Ayitey Konko, who held the important role of custodian of the keys to the Jamestown stool house, was reportedly embroiled in a longstanding conflict over the rightful successor to the Jamestown stool.
Authorities suspect the shooting may be linked to the ongoing disagreement over the rightful chief of the area, a dispute that has remained unresolved for years.
Details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear. However, police personnel are currently at the scene gathering information and evidence to assist in their investigation.
Law enforcement officials have called for calm within the Jamestown community and assured the public that efforts are being made to apprehend those responsible for the crime.
The police have urged anyone with information related to the case to come forward as investigations continue. Further updates will be provided as more details emerge.
