The Osino Concerned Citizens Association has issued a demand for the removal of Chief Osabarima Nana Otu-Darko IV in Osino, located in the Fanteakwa South District of the Eastern Region.

The group's call stems from what they perceive as significant disrespect shown to Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin II and the Osino community.

During a press conference, Dr. Kofi Agyarko Danquah, the Chairman of the Association, detailed the reasons behind their efforts to oust the chief.

Dr. Danquah alleged that Osabarima Nana Otu-Darko IV had confiscated people's farmlands and sold them for illegal mining (galamsey) activities.

He further explained that as a result of the irresponsible mining practices of these miners, River Birim and other vital water sources in the region had suffered severe pollution.

Among the other accusations leveled against the chief were allegations of abusing his authority through the misappropriation and embezzlement of community funds and failing to provide an account to the community since assuming office in 2015.
