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 widespread concern across the Ga State and beyond.
His discharge came shortly after a courtesy visit by John Dramani Mahama, who visited the monarch at the hospital to inquire about his health and extend his personal well wishes.
The accident occurred on the evening of Tuesday, February 17, 2026, along the Pai–Katanga stretch of the Oti Highway in the Oti Region, as the Ga Mantse was returning to Accra from the Northern Region.
Palace officials said the journey followed an urgent traditional engagement.
According to the Office of the Ga Mantse, the King had travelled north at the invitation of the Ya Naa as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen traditional unity and reinforce the historic bonds between the Ga State and the Dagbon Kingdom.
Although the crash was described as severe, no fatalities were recorded.
The Ga Mantse and members of his entourage received immediate assistance from personnel of the Ghana Police Service and royal aides at the scene before being transported to Accra for further medical care.
At the University of Ghana Medical Centre, the monarch and his aides underwent a series of medical examinations to assess any injuries sustained in the incident.
In a statement signed by the Chief of Protocol and Communications, Amb. Sir S.J.K. Parker-Allotey, the palace confirmed that the Ga Mantse responded well to treatment and made a swift and satisfactory recovery.
Following his discharge, the Ga Mantse directed his office to convey profound appreciation to emergency responders, security personnel and the medical team who managed the situation.
He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the public for the prayers, messages of support and goodwill received since news of the accident became public.
The palace assured residents of the Ga State and the general public that the King is in good health and has resumed light duties, while continuing to rest under medical advice.
