Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has added his thoughts to the ongoing rift between some members from the Ashanti and Bono regions.

The rift intensified after Otumfuo Osei Tutu's recent trip to a funeral in Nkoranza.

Reports indicate that the alleged incident happened while the Asantehene was returning from a burial in Nkoranza located in the Bono East Region.

According to an eyewitness account, a group accompanying the Asantehene parked en route to their destination and disrespected the people of Techiman, causing them to retaliate.

Videos of a group of people vandalising a bus from Otumfuo's convoy have surfaced online. The traditional authorities have condemned the incident, stressing that it was uncalled for.
