The Chief of Akyem Kotoku Traditional Area, His Royal Majesty Okumahene Oseadeeyo Dr. Frimpong Manso IV, has called for peace to prevail in Nsawam Adoagyiri.
This was when traditional leaders of the Adoagyiri Traditional Council, together with the Kotoku Gyaase clan, came to report the horrific incidences that have taken place in Adoagyiri land over the past few weeks.
The Gyaase for Akyem Kotoku Traditional Council, who doubles as the Chief for Akyem Abirem Daasebre Kwasi Amo Twetwere, was reporting on the issues happening in Nsawam Adoagyiri to the overlord of Akyem Kotoku state and stated that for the first time, the Gyaase clan for Akyem Kotoku Traditional Council is not happy with the current occurrence in Nsawam Adoagyiriririri Traditional Area.
He pleaded with the overlord of Akyem Kotoku Traditional Council, Oseadeyo Dr. Frimpong Manso IV, to intervene as a matter of urgency and make sure the right thing is done for them.
He said even people fear going out to do their normal duties like they used to, all because they fear for their lives.
Currently, three people have passed away because of what is happening in Adoagyiri.
His royal Majesty Okumahene Oseadeeyo Dr. Frimpong Manso IV, in his address to them, said, Days of tribal wars have passed.
Ghana thrives on the rule of law. Undoubtedly, the situation in Adoagyiri has brought some untold suffering and pain to Akyem Kotoku, but because we know that President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo believes in the rule of law and is a lawyer, he will ensure the laws of Ghana are applied in this case to deescalate the tensions in the Abuakwa-Kotoku chieftaincy crisis”.
The relationship between Kotoku and Abuakwa has always been one of allies, giving support to one another since time immemorial.
King Ofosuhene Appenteng of Kotoku and King Kuntunkununku had been bosom friends who decided to migrate from the present-day Adansi area. Also, Afrifa Akwadaa, King of Kotoku, and Nana Dokua, Overlord of Abuakwa, were siblings, making every Okyenhene the nephew of Kotokuhene.
Oseadeyo Dr. Frimpong Manso IV said he will not allow the present events in Adoagyiri land to destroy the relationship our forebears built.
Kotokuhene called for peace in Nsawam Adoagyiri and also shared his condolences with the families who have lost their loved ones due to the current occurrence in the area.
