A compelling tale from Asante history reveals the enigmatic escape of Nana Owusu Sekyere Panin, a former Mamponghene known for his mystical powers, as documented by scholars Robert S.
Rattray and Ivor Wilks.
According to written and oral accounts, Nana Owusu Sekyere Panin, described as possessing supernatural abilities, exhibited significant insubordination toward Asantehene Osei Kwame, feeling untouchable due to his mystical prowess.
This defiance prompted the Asantehene to incite rebellion among Gyamase, Afidwase, and Edwera against their overlord, the Mamponghene.
