The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has directed the Kumasi Traditional Council to schedule hearings into petitions involving allegations of violence linked to some traditional leaders.
Presiding over the Council’s sitting on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at the Manhyia Palace, Otumfuo reviewed petitions submitted by the Regional Police Command concerning reported acts of violence involving some chiefs.
Following the review, the Council Registrar was instructed to set dates for the affected parties to appear before the Council and respond to the issues raised.
The Council also referred disputes involving Buoho-Ankaase and Boaman-Maase to committees for further consideration and recommendations.
In another development, the Council witnessed the invocation of the Great Oath on behalf of Adumakaasekese as part of efforts to defend his claim to royal status.
Meanwhile, after considering a committee report on a separate traditional matter, the Kumasi Traditional Council ruled that Nana Kusiwaa Mensah II, Baapanin of Praso, is not of royal lineage.
The decisions form part of the Council’s ongoing role in resolving chieftaincy disputes and maintaining order within the traditional jurisdiction.
