Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the revered king of the Ashanti people, has initiated a search for one of his subchiefs, Baffour Adugyemfuo Kumani, over alleged land sales in Kwapra. In a video circulated by Opemsuo FM, a Manhyia-based radio station, the Asantehene expressed his frustration and ordered that Kumani be brought before him.

The Asantehene's displeasure with Kumani is evident in his words: "Kwaprehene knows why I’m looking for him. He knows I am looking for him because of the land issues. That’s why he is dodging me with the excuse of sickness. And he thinks he is smarter than me."

He also highlighted a past incident where Kumani had sold land that belonged to him without providing the promised payment. The Asantehene, however, had forgiven him at that time. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II expressed his disappointment at the situation, stating, "I won’t take any excuse from him. When he was young, he sold my land without bringing me my money. I forgave him, and you see the issue has returned to me."

In addition to addressing Baffour Adugyemfuo Kumani, the Asantehene directed his reprimands toward the kingmakers of Kwapra for not providing adequate counsel to Kumani, emphasizing the need for them to guide him to change his ways.

This development signifies the king's commitment to addressing the land dispute and his expectation that Kumani will be held accountable for his actions.
