YEN.com.gh understands that they are upset over his autocratic decisions and no longer feel comfortable with him ruling them.

They added that the demolition of the buildings is contrary to customs and traditions and will take extreme measures if he fails to change his ways.

The residents have also petitioned the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to call the chief to order, else they will do so themselves.

As if that was not enough, Nana Dwamena’s family members have taken over all social amenities in the community including public toilets, and running them as their private investments.

The unit committee, they went on, has also been dissolved, and to them, it is nothing short of a breach of the 1992 constitution of Ghana.

Nana Addai Dwamena declined to comment on the development when reached.
