Chieftaincy tussle: Queen mother of Offinso Traditional Council drags Asantenhene to court.
Offinso Queen mother takes Otumfuo Asantehene to court over rejection of KK Sarpong as Offinsohene
Queen mother of Offinso Traditional Area has dragged the Asantehene to court over his rejection of Dr KK Sarpong as Offinsohene.
The Queen mother, Nana Ama Serwaa Nyarko and the Offinso Traditional Council unanimously nominated Dr KK Sarpong as the heir to the Offinso Stool but he was rejected by the Asantehene.
This caused a group of Offinso people backed by a retired teacher to hold a press conference to tell Asantehene that Offinso stole is a paramount stool and the queen mother is solely responsible for choosing a paramount chief.
The Asantehene was angered by the press conference and sent a warning that he will not allow someone’s whose isn’t the rightful heir to be the chief.
He referenced them to history where the lineage of Dr KK Sarpong were banned from ever sitting on the stool by one time queen mother whom they tried to poison.
Despite the rejection of Dr KK Sarpong by the Asantehene, the Offinso Queen mother camp insists Dr KK Sarpong is their choice.
They have taken the case to court.
