The Ghana Police Service has arrested an additional 46 individuals in connection with the attacks on the Bepong chief's palace and some Police officers in Kwahu Bepong, Eastern Region.
This follows the earlier arrest of 25 persons allegedly connected to the attack. The total number of suspects apprehended now stands at 71.
The suspects, along with others still at large, were allegedly involved in the assault on the Bepong chief's palace on February 4, 2024, resulting in injuries to seven people, including five police officers.

The police, in a statement, assured that security, law, and order have been restored in Bepong. All suspects will be presented before the court to face justice.
The police have so far identified 40 suspects out of the 71, to have played various roles in the attacks and they have been detained to assist in ongoing investigation.
Tragedy unfolded as two individuals were reportedly killed by stray bullets fired by the police to disperse a hostile crowd during a confrontation.

The incident occurred at the chief’s palace, where police intervened to rescue a man alleged to have raped and killed a 45-year-old woman, Akua Kyerewaa, in Adwumasu, Kwahu South Municipality.
The suspect, 23-year-old Kwasi Tenkorang, is an ex-convict. During the arrest, community members demanded instant justice, leading to an attack on the police.
A 65-year-old brother of the victim, Kwasi Antwi, also lost his life during the confrontation. The suspect was subsequently arrested on February 4th.
