Son of Atebubu Odikro caught stealing black goat

Kwesi Prince, the son of an Odikro (a traditional sub-chief) in Atebubu in the Bono East Region, has been arrested over allegations that he stole a goat.

The arrest has brought shock and shame to his family, especially his father, the Odikro, who is said to be deeply disappointed. Reports indicate that the Odikro has refused to eat since hearing the news, as he struggles to come to terms with his son’s actions.

The incident was reported on Nyankon Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM by journalist Brother Kwame. According to him, Kwesi Prince was caught by a local group of young vigilantes who have been working to curb rampant thefts in the area.

For the past two years, residents in the community had been complaining about persistent cases of goat theft. These thefts had become so common that the community decided to take matters into their own hands. A group of young men came together to form a vigilante team tasked with catching those responsible for the thefts.

Their efforts finally paid off when they caught Kwesi Prince red-handed in the act of stealing a goat. After capturing him, the group handed him over to the police for further action.

Brother Kwame revealed that it’s not only goats that have been stolen in the area. Other personal and valuable items have also gone missing over time, adding to the frustrations of the residents.

According to the report, the arrest happened during the early hours of the morning. Kwesi Prince was caught in the act and tied to a pole. When daylight came, he was forced to carry the stolen goat and was paraded through the town as a way of publicly shaming him for his actions.

The public display caused an uproar in the community, especially because of Kwesi Prince’s status as the son of a respected traditional leader. Many people expressed their disappointment, while others used the opportunity to call for stricter community measures against theft.

Brother Kwame added: “The Odikro is still in shock, saying it was expected that other individuals would be stolen and brought before him to handle the matter, but for his son to do that, he was not only shocked but disappointed.”

The Odikro, who is often tasked with resolving such issues brought before him by community members, never imagined that his own child would be the one at the centre of such disgrace. His disappointment has not only affected him personally but also cast a shadow over his household and leadership.

As of now, Kwesi Prince is in police custody as investigations continue. The community is still reacting to the news, and many are calling for justice to be served, not just because of who he is, but to send a strong message to others who may be engaging in similar acts.
