MPs propose museum to preserve returned head of Ahanta King Badu Bonsu II
Members of Parliament have called for the establishment of a tourist museum in the Ahanta West Municipality to preserve the returned head of Nana Badu Bonsu II, the Ahanta king who was publicly executed by Dutch colonial authorities during the Ahanta-Dutch War in 1838.
Similarly, the Member of Parliament for Guan, Fred Kwesi Agbenyo, supported the establishment of a museum, saying it would ensure that the story of Badu Bonsu II and the Ahanta people’s resistance against colonial oppression is preserved for posterity.
The proposal was made on the floor of Parliament as lawmakers paid tribute to the late king, whose resistance against colonial rule has been described as a symbol of Ghana’s fight for freedom.
