Tensions ran high in Techiman on December 2, 2024, as the entourage of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II faced a violent attack while returning from a funeral in Nkoranza.

The attack left several individuals, including a child, injured.

The incident occurred as the buses carrying Otumfuo's convoy traveled through Techiman.

According to reports, the attack was allegedly in retaliation for an earlier episode where the Asanteman convoy blocked the highway at Amamfom and reportedly chanted provocative slogans.
