The Office of the Omanhene of the Kwahu Traditional Area has firmly refuted claims of the destoolment of Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II as the Kwahuhene, describing recent allegations as false and unlawful.

In a statement issued by the Esono Gyimah Ampong Agyei Palace, the office dismissed social media reports suggesting that Baffour Akoto Osei had been enstooled as Daasebre Akuamoah Boateng III, calling the claims a violation of Kwahu customs and the Chieftaincy Act, 2008 (Act 759).

The controversy stems from an incident on January 25, 2025, when a group of individuals, including Nana Simpe-Owiredu III (Krontihene of Abene), Nana Asiedu Kwabeng IV (Abene Akyeamehene), and others, allegedly declared Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II destooled, and installed Baffour Akoto Osei as the new Kwahuhene.

According to the palace, no destoolment proceedings were initiated, and the actions of the group were carried out without following the proper customary and legal processes.
