A 33-year-old traditional leader named Nene Alipue Narh Amartey appeared before the Ada Circuit Court, accused of threatening to kill a businessman in Ada. The prosecutor, Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Amegaxie, stated that on March 21, 2026, Amartey was seen with a group of men at a disputed parcel of land in Adokope-Kowadinase, which was the subject of a legal dispute between Amartey and a businessman named Zebulon Okudzeto.
The prosecutor claimed that Amartey threatened to kill Okudzeto if he ever returned to the land. The complainant, alarmed by the threat, reported the incident to the police, leading to Amartey's arrest and subsequent arraignment. Amartey's lawyer, Barima Badu Annor-Wusu, requested bail, claiming that his client has no criminal history and is a senior immigration officer.
The court, presided over by Her Honour Catherine Obiri Addo, granted the bail of GH¢50,000 and adjourned the case to November 11th, 2026.
