Denkyira-Boasi now called New Oboasi – Chief
The acting President of the Denkyira Traditional Council Nana Adjei
has said his council has decided to change the name of Denkyira-Boase to
New Oboase following the gruesome killing of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama
there.
He said the move is to rebrand the town and give it a new lease of life.
Denkyira-Boasi became popular after the infamous murder of a Military
Officer, who had been sent to the community to battle illegal mining in
May.
Speaking at a durbar of chiefs and people during a visit by President
Akufo-Addo Monday, Nana Adjei said the people of Denkyira-Boasi have
regretted their actions and deserve a second chance.
“We have just ended our 3-day fasting and prayer session, where we
asked God for forgiveness and so we believe the Lord has forgiven us.
And we also want to ask Ghanaians to forgive us for everything. The
people have regretted their actions and require another opportunity.
“I have met with my council and we have agreed to go back to our old
name which is New Oboasi so henceforth we want the town to be called New
Oboasi and not Denkyira Oboasi,” he said.
Meanwhile, the President who visited the scene of the crime said
government will ensure that the law deals with people involved in the
murder.

He, however, assured the people that he does not perceive all of them as suspects in the killing.
“ I have not forgotten about you at all. You are Ghanaians and have
the right to enjoy all the policies that are being initiated by my
government. Those who committed the crime will be dealt with by the law
and so the rest of you will receive your fair share of the national
cake,” the President said.
