The chief of Akyem Manso, who doubles as Benkumhene of Akyem Kotoku Traditional Area, Obrempong Sintim Poku III, came under attack on Sunday whilst heading to the Akyem Kotoku palace in Akyem Oda to attend Akwasidae.
He was given first aid treatment at the palace by the embattled Omanhene of Akyem Kotoku, Oseadeeyo Dr Frimpong Manso II, who is a medical Doctor by Profession.
The attack is believed to have been orchestrated by a feuding faction in the Akyem Kotoku chieftaincy dispute.
Speaking to Akyem Aboabo based Ahenkan FM’s flagship News Program, Obrempong Sintim Poku III said some unknown persons pelted his vehicle with stones about 50 meters from the palace which led to him sustaining some injuries.

The attack is believed to have been orchestrated by a feuding faction in the Akyem Kotoku chieftaincy dispute.
A 24-year-old chieftaincy dispute between two royal Agona families of Akyem Kotoku continues to linger as there is no end in sight to resolving the dispute.
Though in the year 2000, Nana Frempong Manso IV was enstooled by the Frimpong Manso royal family as the Paramount Chief of Akyem Kotoku, the Paramount Queen-mother, Nana Akua Asantewaa nullified the enstoolment process through the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs and the Court and reportedly expunged the gazetted name.
The Akyem Kotoku Traditional Council has since not been peaceful as the chieftaincy dispute has led to renewed clashes and gunshots which have led to deaths, injuries and destruction of property despite efforts made by previous government officials and other high-powered peace brokers.
However, a peace pipe was smoked in 2018 between the feuding factions to end over two decades of protracted Chieftaincy dispute in the traditional area
The Oda District Police Commander and his men who were providing security at the palace combed the area but could not arrest any suspect.
The chief was, however, taken to a nearby police station to make an official report.
