Tensions flared in Techiman on December 2, 2024, when the convoy of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II came under attack while returning from a funeral in Nkoranza, leaving several people, including a child, injured.
Reports indicate the attack occurred as the convoy passed through Techiman, reportedly in retaliation for an earlier incident where the Asanteman entourage allegedly blocked the highway at Amamfom and chanted provocative slogans.
However, in response to viral videos claiming the convoy was deliberately ambush, the Manhyia Palace denied the allegations and urged the public to disregard false reports.
The incident has deepened tensions between the Techiman and Nkoranza communities, prompting authorities to intervene in a bid to prevent further escalation.
