The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has been discharged from the University of Ghana Medical Centre following a serious road accident earlier this week that sparked concern across the Ga State and beyond.
His discharge came shortly after a visit by President John Dramani Mahama, who checked on the monarch’s condition and conveyed his well wishes at the hospital.
The Ga Mantse was involved in a motor accident on the evening of Tuesday, February 17, 2026, while returning to Accra from what palace officials described as an urgent mission. The crash occurred along the Pai-Katanga stretch of the Oti highway in the Oti Region.
According to the Office of the Ga Mantse, the accident happened as the King’s convoy was navigating the highway during his return journey from the Northern Region. Further details about the circumstances of the crash have not yet been officially disclosed.
The visit had been undertaken at the invitation of the Ya Naa as part of efforts to deepen traditional unity and strengthen ties between the Ga and Dagbon kingdoms.
Despite the severity of the crash, no fatalities were recorded. King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II and members of his entourage were assisted at the scene by personnel from the Ghana Police Service and royal staff before being transported to Accra for further medical care.
Upon arrival at the University of Ghana Medical Centre, the King and his aides underwent a series of medical examinations to determine the extent of injuries sustained in the accident.
In a statement signed by the Chief of Protocol and Communications, Amb. Sir S.J.K. Parker-Allotey, the palace confirmed that His Royal Majesty’s recovery had been swift and satisfactory.
The Ga Mantse has since directed his office to extend profound appreciation to the emergency responders and the medical team who handled the situation. He also expressed deep gratitude to the public for the outpouring of prayers and well wishes received following news of the accident.
