A meeting of Nananom and elders of New Juaben
The Krontihene of New Juaben Traditional Area, Nana Baffuor Nyantakyi Tutu Boateng, rendered an unqualified apology to Juabenhene, Daasebre Otuo Serebour, over some “untraditional utterances” the former made against the latter.
Nana Baffuor Nyantakyi Tutu Boateng had claimed that the Juabenhene did not have jurisdiction over the New Juaben Traditional Area, and therefore could not stand in to oversee affairs in the preparation towards the funeral rites of the late chief and queen of New Juaben, Daasebre Oti Boateng and Nana Yaa Daani, respectively.
Meeting
During a meeting with the chiefs and elders of New Juaben, held under the auspices of Daasebre Otuo Serebour, as part of preparations towards the one week mourning of the late chief and queen at the Yiadom-Hwedie Palace in Koforidua, the Krontihene came kneeling and begging for forgiveness.
Nana Baffuor Nyantakyi Tutu Boateng, who had sought the indulgence of the President of the National House of Chiefs, Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi, to intercede on his behalf, knelt before the Juabenhene and pleaded for forgiveness from him.
He was fined six sheep and quantities of schnapps, and cautioned to be of good behaviour in the future. He retracted the various allegations against the Juabenhene.
Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi, who is also the Omanhene of Sefwi Anhweaso, reprimanded Nana Baffuor Nyantakyi Tutu Boateng, and urged him to be humble and circumspect in his utterances and attitude.
Daasebre Otuo Serebour also chastised the Krontihene for his unruly behaviour towards his late brother, Daasebre Oti Boateng, and warned that such behaviour should not be a trait of a divisional chief.
