The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, has offered additional remarks concerning the injunction preventing his participation in the final funeral rites of the Berekumhene scheduled for November 2023.
Addressing an event in the Bono Region, he emphasized the irony of a mysterious individual like himself being subjected to an injunction that bars attendance at a public event.
"Ever seen a chief who is not mysterious, yet becomes the subject of an injunction before a funeral can be held? I am the very one who such can be done to and by extension the people of Bono," he stated at the gathering.
The Dormaahene, who is also a sitting High Court judge, expressed concern over recent chieftaincy-related disturbances in Sampa, located in the Bono Region.
Narrating a series of events, he highlighted that the installation of a new paramount chief had become entangled in litigation, initially referred to Manhyia for resolution after facing challenges at the Bono House of Chiefs.
According to him, the resolution at Manhyia was not followed by the proper legal process for court approval, leading to complications. The Dormaahene suggested that the failure to seek court approval could be attributed to the unfortunate incidents, including deaths and gunshot wounds, that occurred during the coronation of the new chief in Sampa.
Sampa is situated in the Bono Region, bordering Côte d'Ivoire, and serves as the capital of Jaman North District.
Regarding his ban from the Berekumhene's funeral, Agyeman Badu II expressed that he will forever recall the circumstances surrounding the prohibition. The Sunyani High Court issued a restraint on his attendance on November 22, citing the potential for a breach of peace, especially with the presence of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on the same day.
The court order was a response to an application presented by a member of the Berekum Traditional Council, Osabarima Kyere Yeboah Darteh II.
