The Norwegian Police have arrested two suspects in connection with the theft of crown jewels belonging to Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. A suitcase containing the jewels believed to have been used by the Asantehene to perform ceremonial duties for his people were allegedly stolen from a luggage in the lobby of the Radisson Blue Plaza Hotel in Oslo, Norway last Wednesday. Otumfuo Osei Tutu has been attending a conference organized by the Norwegian-African Business Association in that country. Secretary to the Asantehene, Kofi Owusu Boateng in an interview with XYZ News said the Asantehene is satisfied with investigations done so far. �I just called Oslo and they said they are making progress. They have a picture of the person who picked the bag on CCTV�. Mr. Owusu Boateng however added that the Asantehene is not worried by the situation even though he is monitoring what happens after two people were arrested.
