Video of Kwahumanhene siting on the ground, bare footed as police surrounds him surfaces

The drama surrounding the chieftaincy issues in the Kwahu Traditional Area in the Eastern Region has taken another turn following the reported arrest of the Queen Mother, Nana Adwoa Gyemfua, on Monday, November 17, 2025.

She was reportedly taken from the Kwahu Palace in a dawn raid and detained for several hours before being released on the orders of the Inspector-General of Police, who called for an investigation into the matter.

A viral video also captured the tense moments at the palace during an attempt to arrest the paramount chief, Daasebre Akuamoah Boateng III, who rushed back after hearing about the raid. In the video, Daasebre Akuamoah is seen challenging the officers.

According to classfmonline.com, the injunction follows a motion filed by Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II on May 5, 2025, supported by an affidavit and opposed by the first respondent, Nana Simpeh Owiredu III. After reviewing arguments from both sides, the Committee granted key restraining orders.

The House of Chiefs ordered that:

All respondents and their assigns, agents, workers, or any persons acting on their behalf are barred from interfering with the status, duties, or activities of Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II as Kwahuhene.

The respondents are restrained from holding out the 7th respondent, Baffour Akoto Osei, as Kwahuhene.

The 7th respondent is specifically prohibited from acting as Kwahuhene or performing any functions at the Kwahu Palace in Abene.

The Judicial Committee emphasised that the injunction will remain in force until the substantive case—Suit No. JC/ERHC/P.4/2025—is fully adjudicated.

The order was issued under the seal of the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs and signed by the Registrar, Nathan Danquah…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
