Trouble: Afriyie Acquah's wife on Otumfuo's most wanted list
14.01.2015 LISTEN

Amanda, wife of Ghana international midfielder, Afriyie Acquah is in hot waters with the Ashanti kingdom after it was revealed the Manhyia Palace sent out subjects to summon her for appearing to malign the Asantehene, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II in an audio blabb.

Amanda who got married to the Italy based footballer barely six months ago, has been in the news for a number of scandalous revelations on an acerbic tape recording which suggested that some Black Stars players as well as the great king of the Ashanti people have had some amorous relationships with a lady called Mona, purportedly wife of business mogul and Asante Kotoko fan, Kennedy Agyapong.

Amanda, also purported to have been a former mistress of Mr. Agyapong, famously nicknamed Kenpong, rained a number of unprintable abuse on Kenpong and Mona whom she accused of a number of sexual escapades with some high profile personalities including the much revered Asantehene.

Now Ali Maradona of the communications team of Ghana champions, Asante Kotoko and a friend of the Manhyia Palace has told a radio station in Accra that Afriyie Acquah's wife will be used as a scapegoat for dragging Otumfuo's name into disrepute.

'People have spewed several lies about Otumfuo and anytime those of us who are very close to him want to take action, he implores us to stop but for this particular case, we can't let it go into the drain otherwise it's going to continue unabated," Ali Maradona told Happy FM.

"We will use her as a scapegoat to teach others that the Stool is sacred and cannot be desecrated by anyone,' he added revealing that that the Asantehene was furious on hearing the news.

It  is for which reason Ali Maradona maintains that the act of spewing blatant lies about Otumfuo Osei Tutu which he said is on the upsurge in recent times, must be clipped and discouraged in no uncertain terms.

Meanwhile, some elders of the Manhyia Palace came to Accra this week to invite Amanda for questioning at the Manhyia Palace but unfortunately, she had travelled out of the country.

'I came to Accra with some elders of the palace, including Otumfuo's brother,  Nana Gyebi  to pick up Amanda for questioning but we were told she has travelled to Germany," Ali Maradona confirmed.

"People in the Ashanti Kingdom are raging with anger as to why the lady should desecrate their venerable Stool and it will be appropriate that some punitive measures are meted out to her if it is found out that those allegations turn out to be false,' he affirmed. Follow @thedonplato
