Due to a number of accusations, including his involvement in illicit mining, Nana Amofa Twumasi II, the chief of Mpasaaso No. 2 in the Ashanti region, has been detooled by Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene.
His dubious royal ancestry and a lack of supervision and accountability to his community and traditional leaders are among the other accusations.
Following his appearance before the Asanteman Kumasi Traditional Council at the Manhyia Palace regarding the accusations, the 41-year-old chief was declared guilty.
His participation in illicit mining operations in the Mpasaaso community, which resulted in the devastation of water sources, was the main cause of his destoolment.
The Asantehene underlined that the chief’s acts were against customs and that it is the duty of traditional leaders to enforce the law and safeguard the land.
Due to their involvement in illicit mining operations, several chiefs have recently been detooled by the Manhyia Palace.
