The Pampaso Traditional Council has cautioned the Ghana Police Service against alleged attempts to encroach on lands surrounding the Kumasi Central Police Headquarters in the Ashanti Region.
At a press conference held today, Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Pampaso Manwerehene, Nana Opoku Pimampim, speaking on behalf of Pampasohene, Nana Gyamfi Kumanin, entreated the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and the Interior Minister to restrain from any plans to develop lands around the Kumasi Central Police Headquarters.
According to the council, the lands surrounding the police headquarters are stool lands belonging to Pampaso and should not be subjected to any form of development without proper consultation and approval from the traditional authorities.
The council warned that any attempt to continue with such developments could generate tension and threaten peace in the area.
Speaking to the media, Nana Opoku Pimampim stressed that the traditional council remains committed to protecting all lands under its jurisdiction and would use lawful means to defend its ownership rights.
The council also warned children and family members of the late former Pampasohene against claiming ownership of the Pampaso Palace under the pretext that the property had been willed to them by the deceased chief.
According to the council, some family members are allegedly undertaking construction works, including putting up stores on an already existing storey building within the palace premises.
The traditional council cautioned them to immediately halt the construction activities, citing security and safety concerns surrounding the structure and its location.
The council further appealed to all parties involved to respect traditional authority and allow due process and dialogue to prevail in resolving the matter peacefully.
Elders and members of the Pampaso Traditional Council who attended the press conference reiterated their determination to safeguard the stool lands and properties from what they described as unlawful occupation and development.
