Queenmother in freezer for seven years to be buried

The Guide says at long last, the mortal remains of the late Queenmother of the Agona Royal family of Old Tafo in Kumasi, Nana Konadu Yadom will be laid to rest.

The Queenmother died at a ripe age of 80 but has been lying in the mortuary for the past seven years because of a protracted chieftaincy dispute between two rival factions in the town.

However, on Thursday, the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene accepted the nomination of Dr James K. Frimpong as the new chief of the town.

The announcement made people to recollect the harm that had been done to Tafo in the past seven years, as lives and property were lost in the process.
