ROYAL FAMILY WITHDRAWS RECOGNITION OF DUAKWA CHIEF
The Royal Dwumana Okropong Ebusua of Agona Duakwa in the Central Region has with immediate effect withdrawn recognition of Nana Kojo Amuakwa V as chief of the area.
This follows a meeting with the Elders of the town at which the Royal family made a final declaration that after 12 years of protracted litigation with the chief, and the chief’s self-admitted statement that he no longer belongs to the Royal Dwumana Ebusua but he has seceded with a faction of the clan to form another Ebusua, Nana Kojo Amuakwa ceases to be a Royal and can no longer hold himself as chief.
According to the declaration, Nana Kojo Amuakwa V has one week to vacate the Royal stool to create way for the recognized royal family to nominate a new candidate to be chief.
Known in private life as John Akyene Duncan, Nana Amuakwa has insisted on creating a division in the royal family for the past six years and has unilaterally appointed a family head against all custom and advice.
The Dwumana Okropong Family is the recognized royal family which has produced chiefs at Agona Duakwa since the creation of the town.
