His destoolment comes less than two weeks after Asantehene destooled Nana Kwame Owusu Agyeman, the chief of Antoa, for violating customary procedures and multiple sales of lands.

After a long sitting by the tribunal of the Asanteman Traditional Council at the Manhyia Palace, the Kwasohene was found guilty of defrauding some royals of Kwaso.

He is alleged to have solicited some amounts of money running into Gh300,000 with the promise to hand over a vacant chieftaincy position.

According to further investigation by the council, the Kwaso chief was found culpable after denying earlier accusations and also implicated for his involvement in multiple sales of lands.
