Asantehene destools Offinsohemaa

The occupant of the Golden Stool, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has ended the over three decade reign of Nana Ama Serwaa Nyarko, the Queen mother of Offinso Traditional Area.

Her destoolment was pronounced on Thursday, January 11, 2024, when the newly enstooled chief of Offinso, Nana Dwamena Akenteng II appeared before the Asanteman Council headed by Asantehene to swear an oath of allegiance.

It marked the first meeting of the Council this year and she becomes the first traditional authority to be destooled by the King in 2024.

The destoolment was premised on gross insubordination on her part after refusing to appear before Otumfuo following a summon, adding to the series of her offences.

Delivering the verdict, Otumfuo said, “I deliver the town into your hands alone. You have no queen mother. Find a new queen mother to help you undertake your mandate when you have settled down. We need a queen mother who will be present here when we need her.”
