Ga Mantse Discharged from University of Ghana Medical Centre After Road Accident

King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse, has been officially discharged from the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) following a serious road accident that occurred on February 17, 2026. The traditional leader was undergoing treatment after the incident, which took place while he was traveling back to Accra following a high-profile visit to the Northern Region. The news of his discharge has brought significant relief to the Ga State and the wider Ghanaian community, as the public had been closely monitoring his condition since the news of the accident first broke.

The accident happened as the King was returning from a mission specifically designed to foster traditional unity and collaboration between the Ga and Dagbon kingdoms. This diplomatic outreach is part of a broader effort by the Ga Mantse to strengthen inter-ethnic relations and promote national peace through traditional leadership roles. Despite the severity of the accident, which occurred in the Oti Region during his transit, officials confirmed that there were no fatalities among the King or his accompanying aides. The quick intervention of emergency responders and the subsequent specialized care provided at UGMC were instrumental in ensuring the King’s stable recovery.

Following his release from the hospital, the Ga Mantse expressed his deep appreciation to the medical professionals at UGMC and the emergency teams for their swift and professional care. He also extended his heartfelt thanks to the public for the overwhelming support and prayers received during his period of hospitalization. As he enters the final stages of his recovery, the King is reportedly preparing for his first public appearance, signaling a return to his royal duties and his ongoing commitment to the cultural and social development of the Ga people and the nation at large.
