I think you are right and I agree with you. I am a Historian and teach Traditional African Religion.. Many times I totally disagree with what Frempong Manson teaches and Asante and Akan issues he tries to explain, especially when he tries to glorify Asante Tradition and Culture over other Akans. I am very glad that I am not the only person who has seen the light.

Don’t mind Anokye Frimpong. He weaves stories around his premeditated conclusions. Since you are here, let me tell you how the Dwabengs ran away to settle in the Eastern Region. They fell for the British Plan to dismantle Ashanti and couldn’t stand the fury when it was found out.

PETITION TO END BARBARIC HUMAN SACRIFICE IN GHANA

Petition to:

The President of the Republic of Ghana

The Parliament of Ghana

The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ)

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II

Civil Society Organisations and International Human Rights Bodies

Subject:

End the Practice of Human Sacrifice in the Name of Tradition

---

I, the undersigned concerned citizen of Ghana state as follows:

1. Right to Life is Supreme
The Constitution of Ghana (1992) guarantees the right to life under Article 13. This right is sacred, non-negotiable, and cannot be overridden by cultural or traditional practices.

2. Outlawed Practices as Precedent
Ghana has already outlawed female genital mutilation (FGM), trokosi and repealed the death penalty. These were progressive steps towards justice and human dignity. Yet the continuation of ritual killings — particularly linked to burial rites within the Ashanti Kingdom — undermines these achievements.

3. Ongoing Threats
Self-proclaimed “executioners” continue to threaten the public with impunity, creating fear and normalising violence. This is not culture. This is crime.

4. Modernisation Demands Change
The Asantehene himself has embraced modernisation and global engagement — attending the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II where no such barbarism was observed. If modernisation is genuine (holding a diplomatic passport, enjoying state protection and VVIP convoys etc), it must include abolishing inhumane customs.

5. Failure of Leadership
Our political leaders, religious voices and civil society groups have largely remained silent. This silence amounts to complicity. Ghana’s progress cannot be reconciled with blood-stained traditions.

---

I therefore demand:

1. Immediate criminalisation and enforcement of laws against ritual killings under the guise of tradition.

2. A clear statement from the Presidency and Parliament affirming zero tolerance for human sacrifice.

3. Public commitment from the Asantehene and the Ashanti Traditional Council to abolish such customs once and for all.

4. Involvement of CHRAJ and human rights bodies to monitor, investigate and prosecute any cases of ritual killings.

5. National education and sensitisation campaigns to protect vulnerable communities from being victims of these practices.

---

Conclusion

Ghana cannot claim democracy and civilisation while permitting murder in the name of tradition. I urge immediate action to end this barbaric practice, protect human life and uphold the dignity of our Constitution.

Juabenhene is the HEAD(Fekutre) of the Oyoko Clan in Asante (Oyokoduo) . He is not second-in-command of any royal family. Asantehene already has a family head who serves only for the Kumasi paramount stool.

Is Juabenhene a member of the Kumasi traditiinal Council in the first place? Is he not also head of another traditional council like the Asantehene is in Kumasi? So how did he become second in command of the Kumasi royal family?
Such an Ananse story, how can Aaantehene be head of family and King at the same time ?
All these ignoramuses are parading as Asante history scholars , mtcheeeeew
