Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has destooled the Chief of Ohwim, Nana Kusi Baaye II, over multiple allegations, including his alleged involvement in illegal mining.
During a sitting of the Kumasi Traditional Council on Monday, February 24, 2025, Nana Kusi Baaye II who has served as Ohwimhene for 16 years was accused of desecrating the Great Oath, extortion, illegal land sales, and engaging in illegal mining activities.
Following assessments and further interrogation at the council meeting, he was found guilty of the charges, prompting his destoolment by the Asantehene.

The chief was initially summoned over the reckless invocation of the Asantehene’s Great Oath (Ntamkese), an act considered deceitful to Otumfuo and a desecration of the Golden Stool.
However, during the proceedings, additional allegations emerged, including false testimony in a chieftaincy dispute.
His own family head and members of his royal family testified against him, accusing him of selling family lands under the pretense of acting on behalf of the Asantehene, only to later allocate them for illegal mining.
As a result, the Asantehene ruled for his immediate destoolment, reaffirming his commitment to upholding traditional authority and protecting the integrity of the Golden Stool.
