  • Real reason why Otumfuo destooled the Aduamoahene

    Real reason why Otumfuo destooled the Aduamoahene

    It appears that the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is on a destooling spree, however, none of his decisions are not without basis.

    The most recent to be hit by the Asantehene’s wrath is the Nkonsonhene, Nana Osei Tiri II.

    The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, took the decisive step of dethroning the Nkonsonhene due to his blatant disregard for a ruling issued in a land dispute case.

    A video, posted on the Royal Palace MultiMedia YouTube page, captured the Gyaasefuor presenting the now-deposed Nkonsonhene, Nana Osei Tiri II, in front of the Asanteman Council.

    The complainants detailed how, despite Otumfuo’s ruling that a disputed land area should remain off-limits to both parties, the Nkonsonhene had chosen to flout this decision by leading his people in developing the land.

    Otumfuo had imposed a prohibition on accessing the land and called upon both parties to present their plans for his final verdict on the matter. However, Nana Osei Tiri II disregarded this directive.

    Following a cross-examination by Otumfuo’s linguist, it was established that the subchief had engaged in misconduct. The Nkonsonhene’s attempts to justify his actions were deemed insufficient, leading to the decision to strip him of his title.

    In delivering the verdict, Otumfuo highlighted that the Nkonsonhene had neglected his responsibilities for an extended period, failing to uphold the essential rituals of his office.

    He also referenced their childhood friendship as a factor influencing his decision to dismiss the Nkonsonhene from his position, expressing disappointment in the way he had treated his traditional role.

    “Kyidonhene is available but you were misconducting yourself. When Kyeame Duah was alive, I told you to go and solve the issues, he died long before Bonsu came in, till date you are litigating over a land. I am right?

      “You came to meet Atenehene. I have overlooked you for too long. I was here with you since childhood and we are serving together, so you have become pompous. Yaw Duah, I have been here with you for long in service so you have become ungovernable.

    “You are unable to carry out basic rites, you haven’t seen your stool for years now …. Today this day, you are destooled.”

    Hear the words of Otumfuo before he dethroned his childhood friend

    The King of the Ashanti people, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has dethroned one of his subordinate chiefs due to his disregard for a ruling made in a land dispute between the chief and another party.

    A video posted on the Royal Palace MultiMedia YouTube page captures the Gyaasefuor presenting the now dethroned Nkonsonhene, Nana Osei Tiri II, before the Asanteman Council assembly.

    During the proceedings, the accusers outlined their claim that despite Otumfuo’s decision that a disputed land parcel should remain off-limits for both parties, the Nkonsonhene had violated this ruling by initiating development on the land.

    Otumfuo had imposed a ban on access to the land and summoned the involved parties to present their plans for a final verdict, but Nana Osei Tiri II disregarded this directive.

    The King’s spokesperson, who cross-examined the Nkonsonhene, established that the subchief had engaged in inappropriate behavior.

    The Nkonsonhene’s attempts to clarify his actions were deemed insufficient, ultimately leading to the decision to strip him of his position.

    When addressing the matter, Otumfuo stated that the Nkonsonhene had neglected his responsibilities for a considerable period and had failed to fulfill fundamental duties associated with his role.

    He mentioned his prior friendship with the Nkonsonhene during their childhood as a contributing factor in his disappointment, which led to his decision to remove him from his position.

    “Kyidonhene is available but you were misconducting yourself. When Kyeame Duah was alive, I told you to go and solve the issues, he died long before Bonsu came in, till date you are litigating over a land. I am right?

    “You came to meet Atenehene. I have overlooked you for too long. I was here with you since childhood and we are serving together, so you have become pompous. Yaw Duah, I have been here with you for long in service so you have become ungovernable.

    “You are unable to carry out basic rites, you haven’t seen your stool for years now …. Today this day, you are destooled.”
