The Brong-Ahafo Regional Security Council, has with effect from Saturday, February 9 lifted the three-day dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed on the Nsoatre township, as a result of disturbances arising out of a protracted chieftaincy dispute.
A statement from the council signed by its chairman, Mr. Ernest Akubuor Debrah, Regional Minister, said its action had been taken to enable the citizens of the town to go about their normal duties without fear. It, however, gave the assurance that a strong police presence would be maintained to ensure that nobody breached the peace.
The security council imposed the curfew last Thursday following a shooting incident in the Omanhene's palace on Wednesday, which left one person dead. Meanwhile three persons alleged to be involved in the shooting incident appeared before a Sunyani community tribunal last Thursday.
Joseph Boateng, 33, NCCE officer, Patrick Anane, 52 and Ahmed Haruna, 36, both farmers were charged with the murder of Kwadwo Agyei, 22, a palace guard.
