Ga Mantse stable after dawn crash in Oti Region

The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, was said to be in stable condition yesterday following a road accident in the early hours of the day.

The incident occurred at about 2:00 a.m. at Pai-Katanga in the Oti Region when the King was said to be returning to Accra from Tamale.

The Ga Mantse Palace was yet to issue a formal public statement on the development as of press time yesterday.

But sources close to the palace said the King had travelled to the Northern Region on a private visit at the invitation of the Ya Na.

The visit, described as cordial and significant, formed part of ongoing engagements between traditional authorities aimed at strengthening bonds of unity and mutual respect among Ghana’s revered institutions.
