Asanteman Mourns: Manhyia Bans Outdoor Movement on September 18 Night

All residents of the Asante Kingdom are to remain indoors on the night of September 18 when the late Queen of the Kingdom, Nana Konadu Yiadom III, is expected to be buried.

This follows a ban on outdoor movements.

“No one must be seen outside that night,” the King announced through his linguist during the One Week Observation of the Queen.

The four-day burial rites will commence on September 14 night when the remains of Her Majesty will be laid in state at the Manhyia Palace for all to pay their last respects.

It will continue on Monday, September 15, through to September 18, when she will be buried at Breman at night.

His Majesty the King is expected to sit in state and welcome mourners from September 16 to September 18.

It was further announced that shops will have to close on September 18, when the burial rites will culminate in the burial.

“On that day, there will be no noise. No shop will open. All will join Asanteman to mourn, and we will bury the Queen at Breman,” Otumfuo Kyeame Baffour Kantankrakyi said, adding that the dress code is black and not red.
