On Wednesday, October 25, 2023, a dramatic scene played out at the Manhyia Palace as the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, presided over a chieftaincy dispute involving the Anyeneyere stool in Atwima.

One of the parties involved, a woman, asserted her status as the queen mother of Anyenyere, arguing that she inherited the stool and lands from her late husband.

She alleged that the other party, Ofori, who is a descendant of the Otumfuo, was wrongfully taking over the lands she had given him.

The Asantehene and his sub-chiefs did not take kindly to her claims, prompting them to question her account. The Asantehene, visibly angered, accused the woman of fabricating lies and denied her any right to the land.

When the queen mother attempted to provide further explanations, the Asantehene's irritation escalated. He sternly declared, "Stop acting foolishly because you are no queen. What kind of falsehoods are these?"

“You came here to lie; leave my face. You are not a queen,” he added.

Following this confrontation, the woman was escorted out of the Asantehene's presence, and her slippers were removed, symbolizing her removal from the situation.
