Asantehene destools longest-reigning Paramount Chief in Asanteman
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has destooled Nana Kwabena Nsia Ababio, the Kenyase II Manhene, bringing to an end his remarkable 89-year reign as Paramount Chief.
According to reports from the proceedings of the Traditional Council, the destoolment followed findings that the Kenyase II Manhene had violated Asante customs and traditions.
The Asantehene also ordered the destoolment of nearly all the kingmakers associated with the Kenyase II Traditional Area after they were found to have breached their oath of office.
