This move by the Traditional Council strips the chief of all titles and chieftain privileges with immediate effect.

This decision of the council comes at back of a recent petition from the youth of Kwahu on October 11, 2024, demanding decisive actions against Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II in line with their customs and traditions to restore the sanctity of the Kwahu Traditional Council.

The chief was allegedly involved in an extortion scheme and misconduct during his tenure as board chairman of the Agricultural Development Bank PLC (ADB).

According to members of the traditional council, the decision was necessary to rid the Kwahu state of any shame and to prevent any issues that could lead to violence.
