The chief was murdered by unknown gunmen on the 13th of December 2018 when he was returning from a meeting at Dodowa house of chiefs. What prompted the gunmen for their action is unclear but community members suspected a chieftaincy dispute over the Prampram stool. Few weeks before the shooting, a section of the royal authority threatened to put the mandate of the late chief to a halt.
