A-40-year- old man, Kwabena Adu, alias Natibongo, is in trouble for allegedly killing a monkey at the Boabeng-Fiema monkey sanctuary.
Natibongo from Akumsa-Dumase, a suburb of the Nkoranza South Municipality, is said to have committed the crime on Friday, February 5, 2021.
According to the residents, the dead monkey and three others left the sanctuary to live in the town for about a year and a half.
