The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has summoned one of his subchiefs, Baffour Adugyemfu Kumani, the Kwaprahene to appear before him in two weeks or consider himself sacked.
At a sitting days ago, the overlord of the Ashanti Kingdom said the subchief must must present himself to answer charges of on double sale of lands and violation of Asante Great Oath (Otumfuo Ntamkese).
Some media outlets have stated that the final date to appear will fall on Friday November 3, 2023 and that the accused chief must appear through the Akwamu division.
In a video shared by Opemsuo radio, a channel affiliated to Manhyia, a visibly angry Otumfuo states: “Kwaprahene knows why I’m looking for him. He knows I’m looking for him because of the land issue. That’s why he is dodging me with the excuse of sickness, he thinks he is smarter.
“Go and bring him. I will not take any excuse from him. When he was young he sold my land without giving me my money. I forgave him, you see the issue has returned to me’’ he stated.
On tehe deadline, the monarch stressed: “In two weeks, if he doesn’t show up, he should abdicate the throne and all the elders under him are also summarily sacked. Just two weeks, whatever his condition is, he should show up.
“And you the elders too, I have always cautioned you against his excesses and that you should caution him to change his ways (but you have failed),” he added.
