Rumored to have been destooled paramount chief for Twifu Hemang Traditional Area, Otumfuo Amoah Sasraku IV has rubbished the widely speculated report by his Abakomahene, Nana Yaw Agyabeng lll that he has been destroyed by the Central Regional House of Chiefs.

According to the Twifumanhene, in a press briefing held at his Tuaanko Palace on Wednesday, March 23, 2023, stated, he's still the traditional ruler amid the falsehood by his sub-chief Nana Yaw Agyabeng lll.

This came after Abakomahene, a sub-chief to the throne petitioned the Central Regional House of Chiefs to have him destooled as Chief of the Twifu Hemang Traditional Area over the claim of being sidelined in his enstoolment process.

An act he pleaded uncustomary, having fallen integral member of the delegation in charge in seeing to it any substantive chief or queen is enstooled, hence defeats the legitimacy of the paramount chief's throne and should be destooled for his Abusuapanyin and Queen Mother to be arrested.

Otumfuo Amoah Sasraku at the presser disclosed to Sompa News reporter Eric Annan that the Abakomahene and the forefathers have no blood ties with the Twifu Hemang Aduana Paramount Stool Family from which the area's paramount chiefs and queens are chosen.

Having hailed from Wassa in the Western part of Ghana and were adopted as traditional sons by the royal family following their selfless dedication to the paramountcy, hence against customary for such adopted royals to choose a chief for the traditional council, let alone having the mantra to enstool or destool a paramount chief.

But the slow-speaking chief debunked the allegation of the Abakomahene being part of the delegation responsible for appointing a chief or queen for the Twifu Hemang Traditional Area to be untrue.

He narrated that Nana Yaw Agyabeng lll being the Abakomahene though during the trial at the Central Regional House of Chiefs had two out of the three chiefs who sat over the issue to side with him, doesn't make him lose his throne to any other chief the Abakomahene intends to enstool, having filed a letter of appeal to the National House of Chiefs in Kumasi.

The chief who got enstooled exactly three (3) years ago in his submission lamented that the ongoing chieftaincy uproar has affected most of his mapped-out developmental projects in the area, which includes a plywood factory him together with a Chinese consortium are putting up.

He, however, urged his subjects never to resort to personal dealing with the Abakomahene but leave the law to work its way, as the case currently lies before both the Twifu Praso District Command and the Assin Foso Police Divisional.
