Otumfuo destools 96-year-old Antoahene who reigned for over 20 years

According to multiple palace sources, the Asantehene ruled against the 96-year-old and ordered his destoolment as the chief of Antoa during a judicial hearing on Monday, May 29, 2023, at the Manhyia Palace.

Nana Kwame Owusu Agyeman, who had held the position of Antoahene for two decades, is reported to have violated customary procedures by appointing his nephew to take over his reign while he is still alive.

After being confronted by his kinsmen and elders who suggested that he should have sought the permission of the King before taking such action, he allegedly denigrated the Asantehene.

Following Otumfuo’s ruling on Monday evening, official rites for the destoolment of Nana Kwame Owusu Agyeman were immediately set into motion in the town of Antoa.

The chief is also alleged to have been charged for various improper acts including alleged multiple sale of lands.
