The Bantamahene, Baffour Owusu Amankwaatia VI has in a statement warned persons sharing and making mockery of a video in which he was seen with his subjects crawling before the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
He described the video as “concocted out of malice” by enemies of the Ashanti Kingdom “to achieve their malicious agenda.”
GhanaFeed earlier shared a video in which the Bantamahene, Head of the Kronti Division was seen with his subjects crawling on their knees before the Asantehene pleading for mercy after he was found guilty of trespassing the King’s lands at the Race Course Market in Kumasi and also diverting the course of the Subin River.
In reaction, a statement from the office of the Bantamhene said, “as much as Baffour Bantamahene would want to dissociate himself with these audios and videos, he wishes to state unambiguously that this is a taboo in the Ashanti Kingdom. It is against our customs and traditions to make mockery of issues involving Manhyia and Asantehene.”
