According to a publication by Graphic Online, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has destooled Nana Kwame Owusu Agyeman, the chief of Antoa.
The ruling was issued by the Asantehene, who happens to be the President of the Kumasi Traditional Council during his first meeting on May 29, 2023, after returning from a journey to the United Kingdom.
The chief reportedly appointed his nephew to succeed him while he was still alive, going against the traditionally established and approved protocols.
He disparaged the King when asked by his kinsmen and elders to ask Otumfuo’s consent.
Otumfuo ordered his destoolment after hearing his case on Monday night. In the town, the destoolment rites are currently taking place.
According to Graphics Online, additional offences, such as several land sales, are the basis for the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s decision to destool Antoahene.
Nana Kwame Owusu Agyeman had been on the stool for 23 years.
