The chief of Patuda near Kumasi, Nana Kusi Oboadum, has been arrested for allegedly demolishing a building under construction. He was on Monday put before a Kumasi Circuit Court charged with causing unlawful damage to property and he pleaded not guilty. Police Chief Inspector Felix Akowuah told the court, presided over by Mrs. Lydia Osei Marfo, that the complainant, Kwame Boamah, had acquired a building plot in Patuda on September 25, 2012. This was long before Nana Oboadum became chief of the community. Police Chief Inspector Akowuah said on April 20, at about 1100 hours, Nana Oboadum hired a bulldozer and caused to be levelled, the building which had reached the roofing stage.
