Nana Addo Boaman, the Chief of Nahinso in the Ashanti Region, was arrested by officials from the Asokwa Municipal Assembly for undertaking road works without official authorisation.
He was subsequently released on bail over the weekend.
Defending his actions, Nana Addo Boaman stated that he acted out of necessity due to the authorities' failure to address the persistent problems with roads in the area.
The poor road conditions have been causing significant flooding, posing hazards to both motorists and residents.
For years, the community of Nahinso, located in the Asokwa Municipality and bordering the Bosomtwi District and Oforikrom Municipality, has been plagued by a deteriorating road network.
Residents and motorists have continually voiced their frustrations and appealed for improvements.
Despite their persistent pleas, the road issues have remained unresolved, compelling the Chief to take matters into his own hands to mitigate the hazards and improve the community's infrastructure.
