The Kwahu Traditional Council has removed Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II from his position as Kwahumanhene, citing reasons of misconduct.

The decision to destool Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II follows allegations of financial impropriety during his tenure as Chairman of the Agricultural Development Bank’s board.

He faced accusations of extortion from a bank customer, eventually leading to his resignation from the board.

Confirming the destoolment in an interview with Citi FM, the Kwahumanhemaa, Nana Adwoa Gyamfuah II, stated that Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II's actions had caused significant reputational damage to the Kwahu Traditional Council.

“We have destooled Eugene Kwasi Boadi Asante (Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II). The traditional council frowns on chiefs who do not rule in truth. He has brought reputational damage to Kwahuman. He cannot serve as the Chief of Kwahu again.”

“In Akan tradition, if a chief passes on, the queen mother enstools a new chief in consultation with Kingmakers. If a queen mother passed on too, the Chief together with the Kingmakers enstool a new queen mother. That is an Akan Tradition.”

The Kwahumanhemaa also disclosed that the council is in the process of enstooling a new Kwahumanhene.

In the meantime, the Abetifihene, Nana Asiedu Agyemang III, has taken on the role of acting president of the Kwahu Traditional Council.

“The traditional Council met on Wednesday, November 13. All the Chiefs and Queen mothers, 20 in number formed a quorum to take a decision.

"We all agreed and informed every member of the traditional council of the decision taken. We also performed rites, calling on the gods for us to be able to enstool a new chief who will be of help to Kwahuman.”
