The Paramount Chief of the Anum Traditional Area of the Eastern Region has announced the suspension of the Adontenhene of the area with immediate effect. Akusiaku-Brempong Kumi Sasraku VIII on Monday, August 7, 2024, and before his divisional chiefs, queen mothers, Asafoatse, and the people of Anum, said the suspension of Nana Kwasi Anyane II had become necessary following the latter's continued treachery against the chiefs and people of Anum. The decision means Nana Kwasi Anyane II can no longer hold himself as the Adontenhene of Anum until, according to the Anum Traditional Council, he shows remorse for his actions and offers a proper apology to the traditional authorities. The paramount chief explained that his actions were necessitated by the Adontenhene's unacceptable acts against Anuman, influenced by his parochial interests.
"One person's [Nana Kwasi Anyane] selfish interest is leading him to destroy Anum... We're ready to confront him," said the chief, who called out the Abusuapanyin, queen mother, and elders of the Adontehene for not cautioning him against his actions.
