Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has removed the Gyaasihene, Akyeamehene, and Baamuhene of Sabronum from their positions, effectively relieving them of their titles and duties as traditional leaders.

 

This firm decision was made during the Asanteman Council meeting held on Monday, August 26, 2024, at the Manhyia Palace.

The dismissal comes as a direct consequence of the three chiefs’ involvement in illegal mining, known locally as ‘galamsey,’ a practice that has severely affected the region and drawn widespread criticism.

In the wake of their removal, Kofi Asante has been nominated and selected as the new Sabronum Manhene.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has long been a vocal opponent of galamsey, the illegal mining practice that has devastated lands, poisoned water bodies, and threatened the livelihoods of countless communities in the Ashanti region. His steadfast commitment to eradicating this menace has earned him respect both within and beyond his kingdom.

The recent destoolment of the three chiefs is just the latest in a series of actions by the Asantehene to safeguard the environment and ensure the well-being of his people

This decisive action underscores that the Asante kingdom will not tolerate activities that harm the environment and jeopardize the welfare of its people.
