“I told them (the DiSEC) not to lock the room due to some traditional rites we'll perform, but they insisted and locked it, I got the information a few weeks ago which says two of the traditional stools belonging to the Oyoko Royal Family are missing, I was shocked to hear that but I did nothing until the traditional leaders sent messengers, including the traditional priest officially to inform me about the missing stools,” myjoyonline.com quotes Adehyepanin Kwadwo Asubonteng as saying.
