Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin II
The Akyem Abuakwa State Council has declared the Etweresohene, Nana Ofosu Kwabi Ayebiahwe, persona non grata in all palaces within the Akyem Abuakwa State.
He has also been banned from attending all customary activities, including funerals and state functions organised under the auspices of the Akyem Abuakwa State.
The ban does not include participation in and attendance to statutory duties.
The Akyem Abuakwa State Council took this decision in an emergency meeting held at the Ofori Panin Fie on Thursday, April 23, 2026 at Kyebi in response to the Etweresohene’s recent conduct.
“Every father will accept a prodigal son but what every father will not accept is a ‘coup d’etarist’. That will not happen. Okyeman has never ran away from any battle, we fought several battles and was never defeated. The Royal Aduana family of Osenase and Etwereso should provide a royal who is ready to work with the Ofori Panin Fie and we shall welcome him,” Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin II noted.
The decision of the Council is premised on a conduct by the Etweresohene leading to the stripping of his Daasebre title and his failure to honour an invitation from Nananom to answer to his actions.
“On the 10th day of April 2026, you disrespected summons to appear before His Royal Majesty the Okyenhene and Nananom of the Standing Committee with a 14 day medical excuse duty only to resurface with a rented coterie of people at Etwereso where you announced a failed secessionist decision which has been denounced by your Aduana Royal Family, Nananom and Principal Stool Elders within the Odau Group,” Okyeame Antwi Boasiako Sekyere, Okyenhene Kyeame noted in a statement on behalf of the council.
It further stated that the Etweresohene deliberately disrespected summons of the Standing Committee and continued to act in aberration of custom by refusing the sacred ritual invitation which symbolises the authority of the Okyenhene.
“You have deliberately denied yourself the opportunity offered to explain your uncustomary and treasonable conduct. We are communicating by this letter to the Stool Elders of the Aduana Royal Family of Osenase and Etwereso for their necessary action,” the State Council stated.
“In consequence of the above, you are declared persona non grata in all palaces of the over 940 towns, villages and settlements in Akyem Abuakwa. To give customary validity to the above, Nananom has further decided that any chief who violates these orders would have acted in aberration of his oral and written oath, and will, in consequence, suffer the penalty for it,” the State Council added.
