A video has surfaced of the moment Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, destooled the Paramount Chief of Kenyase No 2, Odeneho Dadeako Nana Kwabena Nsia Ababio.
In the viral video, the Otumfuo vented his anger at Nana Kwabena Nsia Ababio.
According to the Otumfuo, he has warned Nana Kwabena Nsia Ababio several times and has now ruined his entire family.
The Asantehene disclosed that the paramount chief created a position in his traditional area, knowing that he did not have the authority.
He further scolded the family of his paramount chief, saying that none of them was wise.
The Asantehene in the viral video stated, “I warned you several times. Now look at the outcome. You created Hyiawohene in your area. What right do you have to do that? You were a courtier at Hyiawohemaa’s house, so how can you create that position? Through your service, Kenyase No. 2 was created, and you were made the chief. The land you occupy belongs to Kenyasehene.
“You introduced her to me as your mother, and I charged you to take care of her. You have ruined your entire family. Not one wise person has come from the family now. I know all your ploys. All along, I counselled you about these ill acts, but violating Asante traditions cannot be spared. Your reign ends now”.
The Asante Nation page on X, in a post providing an update, wrote, “Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has destooled the Paramount Chief of Kenyase No. 2, Nana Kwabena Nsia Ababio, over violations of Asante customs and traditions.
The decision was taken during an Asanteman Traditional Council meeting held on July 27, 2026.
The Paramount Chief was destooled alongside nearly all his kingmakers who were found to have violated their oath of office.
However, the Asantehene spared the Kontihene and reinstated the destooled Akyeame and other linguists within the traditional council”.
