Police in the Ashanti Region have secured a court warrant for the arrest of one Mohammed Sadat, as they pursue the killers of a sub-chief in the Ashanti region.
Mohammed Sadat, 38, is said to be the suspect in the gruesome murder of the prominent Manhyia Palace sub-chief who used to the chief driver of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Deputy Ashanti Region Police Commander, ACP David Agyemang Djem told the media, the suspect was seen in a convoy with the chief on the day he was killed.
The suspect who is a spiritualist also owes the late sub-chief an undisclosed sum of money, the police say.
