The King of Duabo in the Fanteakwa District, Eastern Region, has been remanded for one week by an Accra Circuit Court over allegations of false publication.
The traditional ruler appeared before the court after police accused him of circulating materials that allegedly contained misleading or false information capable of causing public concern. Authorities said the publications could disrupt public peace, prompting legal action against the monarch.
During proceedings, the presiding judge ordered the one-week remand to allow police investigators sufficient time to complete their investigations. The court scheduled the next hearing for later this month, at which point formal charges may be filed depending on the evidence gathered.
No plea was entered by the Duabo King at this stage, and he did not comment publicly following the ruling. Police investigations are ongoing, including questioning witnesses and reviewing the materials in question.
The case underscores the enforcement of Ghana’s laws on publications and public communications, which aim to prevent the dissemination of information that could mislead the public or threaten peace. Local residents have expressed mixed reactions, with some urging strict legal compliance while others called for a resolution that avoids prolonged detention.
