Antoahene Is a Royal- Asantehene

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene has affirmed that Nana Kwaku Ware III, the newly enstooled chief of Antoa is a royal.

The King made this clear when the new chief appeared before the Kumasi Traditional Council on February 24, 2025, to take an oath of allegiance, taking away all doubt.

His Majesty made the affirmation with the findings of his personally conducted investigation into the family tree of the new chief.

Going through the family tree of the royal household, Otumfuo emphasized that Nana Kwaku Ware III was a true royal on the Antoa Stool.

“I had heard rumours that you were not a royal and I’m sure you heard that too. I decided to personally delve into your family…I wanted to clear all doubts surrounding your enstoolment.”

Caution
Otumfuo further warned him against defiling himself or his stool with any form of transgression.

This was in reference to allegations that he had committed adultery with a married woman and slept with two sisters.

“Be clear that if you commit adultery, you will be destooled.”

Outstanding Royalty Claims
Otumfuo also gave an order for the chief to resolve all outstanding chieftaincy issues over the stool.

The Monarch recognizes that numerous groups are claiming to be royal gates in the town.

These cases, he observes, have for a long time been shoved aside, with the intent of concealing them.

“Many things are in disarray in the town. When you get enstooled, make sure you put them all in order. Nkansa Boansi’s descendants say they are Antoa royals entitled to the stool. It has been outstanding for a long time and you seem to be covering it up.

“Let it come out so I know what’s going on. My sons- descendants of Konadu Sinpinimu- are there. They claim to be part of you. Let me know the truth. We have to put an end to all these issues. We have to know the true royals.”
