There is growing tension in Effiduase in the New Juaben Traditional Area over the sale of a portion of public cemetery land, where COVID-19 victims were buried, to a private developer for the establishment of a church building at the cost of GH¢700,000.
The resistance has led to the alleged destoolment of Ekuasehene, Okatakyie Opoku Oware, who has been opposing the move.
The Effiduasehene, Nana Okowia Dwumo Baabu, announced at the palace on Sunday that he had destooled the Ekuasehene for alleged insubordination.
The decision instantly sparked protests from the Ekuase Bretuo Royal Family, who dismissed the destoolment as unlawful and without merit.
