A middle-aged man, Kwadwo Amoah Ampong, has been apprehended for allegedly impersonating a staff member of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in order to carry out fraudulent activities.
The suspect, posing as the chief private investigator for the Asantehene, has reportedly defrauded unsuspecting victims and propagated false accusations against Asante chiefs.
Allegations made by Ampong targeted specific direct chiefs under Otumfuo, including those of Pekyi N1, Gyaakye, Donyina, and Asotwe, aiming to tarnish their reputations.
His actions caused confusion and discord among local leaders until his deception was exposed by kinsmen of Saamanhene Palace in Kumasi.
Confronted by the Saamanhene Palace, Ampong confessed to his crimes and renounced his false title.
