The Dambai Circuit Court has remanded four people into police custody over disturbances at Dwabrem, Worawora, in the Oti Region.
According to Citi Newsroom, the accused are Kwame Aboagye Ahenkroa, 55, Prince Asante, 27, Daniel Wiafe, 20, and Kwabena Nsimbo, 22. They are expected to reappear before the court on 17 November 2026.
The disturbances occurred on 24 October 2026 amid tensions over the start of rites for the Akwantutenten Festival, following disagreements reportedly linked to claims that a High Court injunction had been obtained to restrain the celebration.
The incident involved the burning of vehicle tyres and other acts of violence. Police intervened, put out the fire and restored order.
The Oti Regional Security Council met representatives of the disputing families on 26 October and directed all parties to seek redress through the courts and Houses of Chiefs. It also directed that those arrested be dealt with according to law.
The Oti Regional Police Command has urged calm and respect for the legal process.
The report did not specify the charges the four face. They have not been convicted of any offence.
