Ahead of his visit, a list of Otumfuo's entourage has popped up and it is showing he is travelling with a large retinue.

The list which was posted on Facebook by Akwasi A Amankwa Afrifa suggests Otumfuo will be accompanied to Anloga by 211 servants. The list includes hornblowers, cooks, and sword bearers, among others.
