Denkyira Obuasi officially changes name to New Obuasi 

Denkyira Obuasi in the Central Region has officially changed name to New Obuasi. 

The Acting Paramount Chief of Denkyira Obuasi, Nana Agyei Nkyireye, made this known when the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo interacted with chiefs and people of Denkyira Obuasi as part of his three-day tour of Western and Central Regions.

The late Major Maxwell Adam Mahama was murdered on May 29, 2017 while on national assignment. He was lynched by some residents of Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region.

The Omanhene acknowledged that what happened was not right and should never have happened.

He called on Ghanaians particularly the family of the Late Major Mahama Adams to forgive the community for the barbaric act and once again accept them as a part of the country.

He said the renaming of the community is an attempt to calve a new image and identity for the future of the community.

He said the leadership of the community would collaborate with security agencies to ensure that justice was brought to book.

“I have personally devoted my time and resources in the fight against instant justice,” he added.
