Denkyirahemaa responds to Obiri Boahen's attacks on her

In an apt but poignant rebuttal, the office of the Denkyirahemaa of the good people of Denkyira Traditional Area has issued a rebuttal to attacks on Queen Mother Nana Ama Ayensua Saara III by Nana Obiri Boahen.

In a statement issued on Friday, April 19, 2024, and signed by Lawyer E. K. Nanah, it was read in part that the Office of the Denkyirahemaa, Nana Ama Ayensua Saara III, wished to categorically state that the revered Queen is unaware of any imaginary war with the renowned lawyer to warrant such attacks on her.

Further, the statement contends that if Nana Obiri Boahen has any beef with the Denkyirahemaa, whether personal or in his professional capacity, one would expect that he would go to court, file processes, and ensure the same is duly served on the Denkyirahemaa rather than indulge in a public trial, which would neither inure to the benefit of his clients nor his professional reputation as a lawyer.

The statement ended with this caution: "Respectfully, let the renowned lawyer know that this is not partisan politics, please."

Below is the full statement:

Re: Obiri Boahen "attacks" Denkyirahemaa:

The attention of the office of Denkyirahemaa has been drawn to the publication of a story on the above title by the www.mordenghana.com news portal.

The office of the Denkyirahemaa wishes to state that the revered Queenmother of Denkyira, Nana Ama Ayensua Saara III, is unaware of any such imaginary war with the renowned lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen to warrant such so-called "attacks."

If indeed the experienced lawyer has a beef with the Denkyirahemaa, whether personal or in his professional duties, one would expect that he would go to court, file his processes, and ensure that the processes are duly served on the Denkyirahemaa instead of indulging in a public trial, which would neither inure to the benefit of his clients nor his own reputation as a renowned lawyer of his standing.

For the avoidance of doubt, Denkyirahemaa is never aware of any such things the lawyer is alluding to in the publications. She is minded to ensure peace and unity in the Denkyiraman, and such trivialities would not distract her.

We will advise the learned lawyer to follow the prescribed procedure in addressing legal, traditional, or chieftaincy issues instead of airing such empty noises that lawyers of his ilk call "brutum fulmen," unless he is blowing his top to attract undeserved attention, which would not serve his client's interests.

Respectfully, let the renowned lawyer know that this is not partisan politics, please.
