Nkotumso-Nkasawura Gets New Chief After 10 Years Dispute.
The chieftaincy dispute of Nkotumso-Nkasawura stool in Upper Denkyira West District in the Central region which started on the 16th of September, 2011 has come to an end with Ododuo Biribi Aduonum -Gyeabour I installed as the Chief of the area.
The dispute was between Abusuapanin Kwabena Afoakwa and Obaapanin Akua Nsowah, represented by Opanin Akwasi Aduonum by power of attorney versus Mr.Joseph Nkua Mensah alias Kwabena Ebo and Obaapanin Kwaa Kosua represented by Obaapanin Eno Ku by power of attorney.
Mr.Joseph Nkua Mensah was parading himself as Nana Anyimadu Koffour II which was false and misleading.
The five- member panel who sat on the case since 20th June,2020 , ruled on the case on the 8th of April ,2021 at the judicial committee of Denkyira traditional council.
RULING:
According to the ruling, the alleged installation of Mr.Joseph Nkua Mensah ,alias Kwabena Ebo on the 12th of September,2011 has been declared null and void.
The reason being that ,the alleged installation was not in conformity with the customs and traditions of Denkyira .
Per the ruling,Mr.Joseph Nkua Mensah alias Kwabena Ebo has therefore never been recognized as chief of Nkaaawura.
Secondly, it has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt that Mr. Nkua Joseph Mensah is not a member of the Kona/Ahwenee Royal Family of Breman-Akrofrom;who are the true custodians of Nkaaawura stool land.
Abusuapanin Kwabena Afoakwa therefore has installed the new Chief of Nkotumso-nkasawura according to the customs and traditions of Nkotumso-nkasawura and Denkyira in general.
The name of the new Chief is Duduo Biribi Aduonum-Gyeabour I formerly known as Elder Akwasi Aduonum of the church of Pentecost.
COMMITMENTS:
Speaking to this reporter after his installation as the Chief, Oduduo Biribi Aduonum-Gyeabour I advised the general public to maintain the peace that has been prevailing at Nkotumso-nkasawura.
He noted that anybody who would indulge in any act that would bring chaos, would be handed over to the police by Nananom.
The installation took place at Abesewa with the observation of all COVID-19 protocols.
However, the official outdooring would take place later after a notice has been given to the police and the general public.
