The Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council has dispelled rumors that Nana Yaa Aboamah (II), Queen mother of Otoase, a suburb of the Ayensuano Constituency, in the Eastern region has been destooled.

Some family heads in the community had earlier accused Nana Aboamah for disrespecting sub chiefs and elders in public, and as well not cooperating with them

They claimed she does not respect the Abusuapanyin of the royal family, and was also partial in dealing with people in the community.

They alleged she travels out of the community without informing her elders and mostly locks up the palace anytime she is not around, and that she has also been harassing the community with land guards, amidst the installation of a new Nkosuohene, although they already had one

But the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council’s State Secretary, Daniel Marfo Ofori Attah believes the supposed destoolment act and claims were maliciously orchestrated by some detractors whose sole agenda was to divert the stool’s allegiance from the Abuakwa Traditional Council to Akuapem-Aburi, under the cover of Otoboa Gyan Kwasi, chief of Aburi.

“Otoase is not an extension of Aburi, and however cannot be under them, those there are only settlers from Akuapem residing on Akyem Lands, and it does not make them rulers of the land on grounds of custom and law. Nana Aboamah is still the queen mother of Otoase, the Akyem Abuakwa State Council recognizes her as such, she is the legitimate Queen Mother of Otoase, for now there is no chief there, she is the only ruler on gazette and recognized by law and the Akyem Abuakwa state”, he revealed.

Nana Aboah Kwame, the Abusuapanyin of the Oyoko Family of Abodan and Otoase , on his part, in an interview, also expressed shock over the destoolment rumor, claiming it was well crafted with ill intentions by detractors of Nana Aboamah.

“This is a surprise to me, I am not even aware, whatever people are saying disregard it, it can’t even be true, I am the Head of the royal family of Otoase , and I am not privy to this rumor. You see, the Otoase land falls under the Akyem Traditional Council, therefor we pay allegiance to them, whoever is chosen as a chief or Queen mother of Otoase swears an oath before the Okyehene, and such people if you want to overthrow them you put your allegations together and send it to the Abukwa Traditional Council to be perused and investigated, before any further action can be taken, without going through this you cannot just wake up one day, all because you have agenda against someone, and go to the palace with some people following you, kill some goat and say you have overthrown the Queen mother, it is even unlawful”, he noted.
