The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has, for the first time, opened up about a road crash, which left him severely injured.

Addressing the leadership of the Ghana Police Service who visited him on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Nii Tsuru II narrated how a policeman came to his rescue after the crash.

The king said that the said policeman, Kennedy Frimpong, was the one who managed to remove him from the damaged vehicle.

He indicated that after Officer Kennedy Frimpong gave him first aid, he called for reinforcement and also made arrangements to move him to a nearby health facility.

Nii Tsuru II said that he told the policemen that he should be taken to a hospital in Accra, adding that even though the policemen were unhappy with his decision, they obliged his request.

He said that the police, in a long convoy, drove him for over five hours to the health facility in Accra, where a team was waiting to give him the needed care.

“I asked them to do whatever they could to bring me to Atimpoku, where the rescue team was waiting. They drove me for five hours from the scene of the accident to Atimpoku,” he said.

The Ga Mantse also said that upon getting to Accra, he received a call from President John Dramani Mahama, who, together with his wife, Lordina Mahama, made arrangements for him to be transferred to the University of Ghana Medical Centre.

The king went on to thank the police for their service to him and urged the IGP to reward Frimpong for coming to his rescue.
