The Chief Priest of the Antoa Nyamaa 'deity,' tasked with reversing the curses placed on Nana Kwaku Duah, Chief of Kokoso, by Bernard Antwi Boasiko (Chairman Wontumi), the Ashanti regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has refused to perform the necessary rituals.

This comes after Chairman Wontumi denied the allegations made against him by Nana Kwaku Duah regarding disparaging comments about Asantehene Otumfuo Osei II.

Wontumi's denial, presented to the Antoa shrine dispute resolution Chiefs, created an impression of resolution by the Kumasi Traditional Council (KTC), which Nana Kwaku Duah and the Chief Priest found unsatisfactory.

Otumfuo's Brempong, Nana Kwaku Duah, maintained that Wontumi had made the disparaging statement before about 40 people in the vetting room.

The Antoa Nyamaa Chief Priest, expressing discomfort with the handling of the case by the Kumasi Traditional Council (KTC), refused to reverse the curse, citing a lack of full disclosure of the truth during the unsatisfactory resolution at Manhyia Palace on January 29, 2024.

The Chief Priest directed the delegation to go back and resolve the case again, urging the guilty party to confess for forgiveness.

Following the Chief Priest's decision, some individuals in the delegation knelt to beg Nana Kwaku Duah to allow the Chief Priest to reverse the curses. However, he objected, insisting that the entire truth must be revealed to vindicate his initial stance on the matter.

The delegation included Bernard Antwi Boasiako, Nana Nkansah Boadu (Agric Nzemahene), Nana Kwaku Duah (Chief of Kokoso), and Baffour Kantankrakyi (Otumfuo’s linguist).
