The Yaa Ansaa Royal family, a faction in a protracted chieftaincy dispute in Akwamu in the Eastern Region is angry over media reports which sought to describe Kwabena Owiredu as the paramount chief of Akwamu.Ohene Oppong Akoto, a spokesperson of the family stated at a press conference in Accra, on Monday, they are the rightful heirs to the Black Stool and would no longer countenance the lies and misrepresentation being perpetrated by officials of the Yaa Botwe family."We wish to state that the Yaa Ansaa Royal Family are the true custodians and overlords of the Akwamu Black Stool and are the indigenous Akwamus," he stated, adding, "for over twenty one years the Botwe family has been battling for a prize that does not belong to them."There is simmering tension between the two Royal families over who is the rightful heir to the throne.The conflict was sent to a panel of eminent chiefs who under an Alternative Dispute Resolution ruled in favour of the Yaa Botwe family.But the Yaa Ansaa Family has rejected the report of the panel describing it as "full of misrepresentation, lies and dishonesty."They have filed a petition at the High Court for a judicial review of the the decision.But even before the court will arrive at a decision, the family insists Kwabena Owiredu cannot hold himself out as the paramount chief of Akwamu.Clad in black and red regalia and chanting war songs, members of the Yaa Ansaa family told journalists the report by the eminent chiefs was procured through fraud, adding, the two representatives who purported to have signed on behalf of the Yaa Ansaa family did so without the express authority of the family heads.
