Gbese Mantse, Nii Ayi Bonte II and two others have been sued at an Accra Circuit Court

The Gbese Mantse, Nii Ayi Bonte II and two others have been sued at an Accra Circuit Court for an alleged forceful entry into the Adjabeng Ankrah family land.

The Police prosecutor, Inspector Ernest Acheampong prayed the court to issue a bench warrant to arrest the accused persons for their failure to appear in court.

Nii Ayi Bonte II and his accomplices, Nii Okaikoi also known as Korle We and one Francis aka Korea Man had been served notice but failed to appear in court.

The Court presided over by Mrs Ruby Naa Adjeley Quaison declined to issue the bench warrant for their arrest.

The court however directed that "if the Police wanted the accused persons to appear in court they know what to do".

The case has been adjourned to February 23, 2017.

Meanwhile, the Gbese Dzase kingmakers have threatened to take legal action against embattled Gbese Mantse, Nii Ayi Bonte III to force him to abdicate his throne.

This comes on the back of a seven-day ultimatum given to Nii Ayi Bonte II to abdicate which expired Tuesday, December 27, 2016.

The chief had earlier in the run-up to the 2016 elections vowed to destool himself if the NPP’s candidate [Nana Addo] was voted as the president of Ghana after December 7.
