The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has destooled Nana Kusi Baaye II, the Chief of Ohwim in the Ashanti Region, bringing his 16-year reign to an end.

It comes on the back of multiple offences he was found to have committed including desecration of the Great Oath, extortion, illegal sale of lands and illegal mining.

He was found guilty during the Kumasi Traditional Council meeting today, February 24, 2025, prompting the order for his immediate destoolment by the King of the Asante Kingdom.

The substantial case for which he was summoned before the King had to do with the desecration of the Great Oath.
