The Manklalo of Prampram Traditional Area, Nene Atsure Benta III has been gunned down by some unknown assailants at Apollonia in the Kpone-Katamanso Municipality of Greater Accra.

Information reaching us understands the deceased, who was also the acting President of the Prampram Traditional Council was returning from a meeting in Dodowa in the Shai-Osudoku District.

Police sources inform that the Manklalo was ambushed and shot along the way.

The Tema Regional Police Commander, DCOP Edward Johnson Akrofi-Oyirifi who confirmed the incident told Graphic Online said policemen from the Dodowa District Command are at the scene of the incident to convey the body to the Police Hospital Mortuary.

Nene Benta has been acting over the past decade as regent for the community following the absence of a substantive chief.

We understands there was a move to destool him by the Sentse (Stool Father) of Prampram on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 over allegations that he had taken money from a claimant to the stool and assured that, he would ensure that the person was enstooled as the Paramount Chief for the area.
