The Ahene Nanahene of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Nana Kwame Mensah Bonsu, has criticised Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II over his recent remarks about the Asantehene.

According to him, Dormaahene's attacks on Otumfuo are fueled by bitterness and hatred.

Speaking in an interview on Adum TV on August 24, 2025, Nana Kwame Mensah Bonsu accused the Dormaahene, who doubles as President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs and Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area, of lacking what he described as "ruling wisdom" in his administration.

He further alleged that Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, known in legal circles as Justice Daniel Mensah, a sitting High Court Judge, has been sentencing people wrongly due to what he termed a lack of wisdom in his rulings.

Nana Kwame Mensah Bonsu stressed that he would be the most pained individual if the judge had ever convicted anyone, since, in his view, his utterances and public behaviour do not befit the role of a judge to adjudicate cases.

"If Dormaahene, who is a judge, has ever sentenced someone, I would be the most pained individual because he might not have applied wisdom. His utterances and public behaviour totally contradict his position as a judge. Bono and Asantes are not fighting, so why now?"

He further added, "He should clean his mouth on the floor."



His comments follow Dormaahene's recent remarks about the Asantes, in which he claimed that the Golden Stool of the Ashanti people, known as Sika Dwa Kofi and said to have been summoned from the skies by the high priest Okomfo Anokye, appeared welded when it was displayed publicly.
