A king is known for several things, including controlling his people and maintaining peace and order in the community he controls. However, one unusual case occurred when a chief decided to take the bull by the horns and joined in one of the most historic occasions that led to Ghana's independence from colonisation. He is Nii Kwabena Bonnie III, a traditional leader of Osu Alata Mantse and Oyokohene of Techiman of the then Gold Coast. Nicknamed Boycott-Hene, he was also the Oyokohene of Techiman, with the stool name Nana Owusu Akenten III. One of the many interesting facts about the famous Osu Alata Mantse was that he hugely contributed to the fight for Ghana's independence when he orchestrated the 1948 boycott of European goods by Gold Coasters.
