The Sunyani Tra­ditional Council (STC) in the Bono Region has an­nounced internal mediation process to resolve the ongoing succession dispute over who should succeed the late Omanhene, Nana Bosoma Asor Nkrawiri, who died in 2023.

According to the Adonten­hene of the Council, Nana Boadi Akrofa, the raging dispute was a family one and that efforts were underway to resolve the matter to bring lasting peace to the tradition­al area.

He explained that in any chief­taincy dispute there was a channel to follow to resolve the issue in order not to escalate matters so as to achieve lasting peace. "If the ongoing issues had oc­curred in other places, one could have imagined what would have happened.

But we thank God we have not recorded any bloodshed, and Sunyani remain calm and peaceful," the Adontenhene stated.
