On Monday, October 14, 2024, the Asantehene, , destooled the Queen Mother of Denyase Traditional Area, Nana Adutwiwaa Bonin III.
The Asantehene, in the course of delivering his judgement, disclosed the difficulty he had in removing the queen mother because of his fondness for her.
He, however, indicated that he had no choice but to remove Nana Bonin III because she dishonoured the Great Oath to Asantehene, which can only be punished with one losing her stool.
Before delivering his judgement, the Asantehene ordered that an ancient gun named Agyaponmaa be brought to him, which he used to demonstrate the sacrifices people have made for the sake of the Asante Kingdom.
