The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has been officially discharged from the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) after receiving treatment for injuries sustained in a serious road accident earlier this week.
The monarch was discharged shortly after a visit by President John Dramani Mahama, who called at the hospital on Saturday, February 21, 2026, to personally check on his condition.
Medical experts at UGMC gave the influential traditional ruler a clean bill of health following what sources described as intensive clinical assessments after his evacuation to Accra.
Palace officials confirmed that his recovery has been swift and satisfactory.
The accident occurred on the evening of Tuesday, February 17, 2026, as the King was returning to Accra from what the palace described as an urgent mission.
The incident took place along the Pai-Katanga stretch of the Oti highway in the Oti Region, triggering widespread concern across the Ga State and beyond.
According to details from the Office of the Ga Mantse, the King’s convoy was navigating the highway when the crash occurred.
He had travelled to the Northern Region on a private visit at the invitation of the Ya Naa, aimed at strengthening traditional ties and fostering unity between the Ga and Dagbon kingdoms.
Despite the severity of the accident, officials confirmed that there were no fatalities.
The King 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 specialised medical attention.
Upon arrival at UGMC, the King and his aides underwent a series of comprehensive medical examinations.
In a statement signed by the Chief of Protocol and Communications at the Office of the Ga Mantse, Amb. (Sir) S.J.K. Parker-Allotey, the palace assured the public that the monarch’s condition was stable and improving steadily.
The Ga Mantse has since directed his office to express profound appreciation to the emergency responders and medical team who managed the situation.
He also conveyed deep gratitude to the public for the prayers, goodwill messages and expressions of concern received since news of the accident broke.
President Mahama’s visit to the hospital was described as a high-profile show of solidarity.
Arriving with a senior entourage, the President spent time with the Greater Accra monarch to personally assess his recovery.
Footage of the visit, widely circulated on social media, highlighted the significance of the moment and underscored the close ties between the current administration and the Ga Stool.
Shortly after the presidential visit, medical staff at UGMC formally discharged the King.
He has since returned to his private residence, where he is expected to continue recuperating.
The monarch’s discharge brings to an end a tense week for the Ga Traditional Council and residents of the Ga State, many of whom had followed updates on his condition with anxiety.
With his health restored, preparations are underway for his first public appearance since the accident — an event that is expected to draw significant public interest and reaffirm stability within the Ga traditional leadership.
