Asantehene commends people of Akrodie

Kumasi (Ashanti Region) -- The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has expressed gratitude to the people of Akrodie in the Ahafo section of Asanteman for accepting the peace gesture and recognising Nana Boakye Asiamah as the Akrodiehene.

He also commended the committee appointed by the Asanteman Council under the chairmanship of Daasebre Osei Bonsu, Mamponghene, which resolved the dispute for the good work done.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu was speaking at the last Asanteman Council meeting for the year in Kumasi on Monday. The Asantehene had accepted the findings of the committee, which looked into the Akrodie chieftaincy dispute and the consequent breach of the peace at the Akrodie traditional area. All other issues that led to the dispute and breach of the people had also been resolved. The Akrodie chieftaincy dispute started nearly 10 years ago.
