Shatta Wale’s father enstoolment challenged

Ngleshie Amanfrom Okyeame, Nii Oykeame Odartey has called on the general public to disregard the purported enstoolment of one Charles Mensah as the Chief of Ngleshie Amanfro.

Mr. Charles Nii Akramah Mensah was last week installed as Chief of Ngleshie Amanfro by a separate faction whereas there is a sitting chief in the person of Nii Kwashie Gborlor IV.

Consequently, the Okyeame insists the enthronement of Charles Mensah as Nii Akramah Nyonmor is null and void.

Charles Akramah Mensah is father of popular musician, Shatta Wale.

He was emphatic that Nii Kwashie Gborlor IV is and remains the legitimate chief of Ngleshie Amanfro.

He described as disgraceful and unfortunate the purported enstoolment of Charles Mensah, stressing that the chieftaincy institution is at the crossroads if the unlawful enstoolment is not reversed.

According to him, the process took place without the consent, concurrence and involvement of the recognized Kingmakers of Ngleshie Amanfro, which makes the whole process null and void.

He explained that like any Ghanaian traditional setting, Ngleshie Amanfro practices the chieftaincy rule where leaders are duly nominated, elected and installed after thorough screening and not the ‘fake installation of Charles Mensah’.

On the allegation that Nii Kwashie Gborlor IV’s has not been gazetted by the National House of Chiefs, Okyeame Odartey explained that does not prevent him from performing his duties as a chief because it’s a process and not an event so they are using the laid down procedures to correct what he described as anomaly.

He further urged Ghanaians not to recognize DCOP (Rtd) J.A. Adams as the “Stool Father” adding that plans are afoot to report him to the appropriate authorities.

Against that backdrop, Okyeame Odartey therefore called on the Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to, as a matter national importance, to investigate the matter to prevent the aggrieved faction from taking the law into their own hands.
