Two young men suspected to have stolen two sack-full of assorted traditional regalia have been arrested in Agbogbloshie Market in Accra.

Although the two upon interrogation admitted to stealing the regalia from Kasoa, the Police say they “strongly disbelieve” the admission by the two; a 21-year-old  Richard Kwabena Manu and Issu Eliasu, 19 years.

The two suspect told the Police at the Accra Regional Police Command that they stole the items, which included a golden traditional sword, chains and bracelets typically worn by chiefs, from the Kasoa pedestrian lane.
