Head Of Family Murdered Over Chieftaincy Dispute

Kpakpo Allotey, the head of the Kwame Anu family of Bortiano, was shot and killed by unknown assailants at Bortianor in the Ga South Municipality of Greater Accra.

The deceased was dragged from his bedroom at dawn by approximately 18 intruders who broke into his bedroom and shot him to death a few meters from his residence.

Residents told Chris News that he was hacked with a machete before being dragged outside and slain.

The incident has instilled dread in the community.

Hannah Kpakpo, the daughter of the deceased, is pleading with state security to investigate the incident thoroughly and bring the perpetrators, who are presently on the run, to justice.

Traditional authorities characterize the action as a deliberate endeavor to eliminate certain leaders.

Dzaasetse of Bortiano, Nii Clemence Aboanu disclosed that the assailants made an initial attempt on his life but were unable to gain access to his residence. They then proceeded to the family patriarch's residence and murdered him.
