Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has issued a stern warning to individuals around him who feign affection toward him.
According to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, many smile with him and pretend to love him, but have ill intentions towards him.
The Asantehene highlighted that anyone pretending to love him while harbouring ill motives will be dealt with by the Golden Stool, also known as Sika Dwa Kofi.
Opemsuo.com quoted the Asantehene during an Asanteman Council meeting on October 16, 2025, to have said, “Many of you smile with me, pretending to love me, but have ill intent towards me. Sikadwa will deal with whoever feigns his love for me. I have a pure intent towards all of you”.
The Asantehene further announced plans to hold a closed-door meeting with the traditional leaders, saying, “We all sat here and delivered verdicts on both cases, but when issues arose afterwards, none of you came out to defend the decisions. Your attitude sounds like, ‘Do it alone,’ and I will definitely do it. Some of you secretly spread falsehoods about me outside.
“I was appointed to ascend Sikadwa, and they attached wisdom and power to reign. I will use them to deal with these issues and to rule. You saw Asanteman before my reign, and you have seen how it is now,” he added.
Meanwhile, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II has said anyone who claims the Golden Stool was summoned to descend from the sky is a liar.
According to the Dormahene, the Golden Stool, when it was recently outdoored, looked welded when it was displayed in public.
Speaking during the launch of the Bonokyempem Council in the Bono Region on August 14, 2025, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, stated, “If anyone tells you they can summon something to descend from the sky, I, Agyeman Badu II, am saying it is a lie”.
“Didn’t you see when the Golden Stool was recently outdoored, it looked welded? Didn’t you see?” he quizzed.
Also, Historian Anokye Frimpong has revealed that all the Golden Stools in Ghana were made by the Paramount Chief of Dormaa, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, forbears.
According to Anokye Frimpong, Nana Dormaahene’s forbears moulded a Golden Stool, which was seized by the Ashantis and melted.
Speaking to Agyenkwa FM, Anokye Frimpong explained, “Under Opoku I, the Asantes went to war against the people of Dormaa, who were led by Nana Kofi Adu. The Ashantis defeated them and took away their Golden Stool”.
“Because Konfo Anokyi has warned that there must be only one Golden Stool and that if anyone found one, the Ashantis should go to war and conquer it, the Ashantis defeated Dormaa and took hostage of their Golden Stool, melted it, and it became the first Golden Stool melted by the Ashantis in history”.
He further revealed that another great-grandfather of the current Dormaahene, Nana Kwadwo Adinkra Karikari, also manufactured a Golden Stool during the reign of Nana Osei Bonsu as the Asantehene.
He revealed that the stool became the second one which the Ashantis seized through war and destroyed.
Anokye Frimpong added that all the welded Golden Stools in Ghana’s history were made and used by the forbears of the current Dormaahene, but not the Ashantis.
