In a video shared on Appiah Stadium’s TikTok page, the two men were seen standing by the roadside, dancing, shouting, and cheering as the convoy of luxury vehicles moved past. The convoy included the Asantehene’s vintage Rolls Royce, several black Toyota Land Cruisers, and police vehicles.

The highlight of the convoy was the Asantehene’s Rolls Royce 20/25. This vintage car was manufactured between 1929 and 1936. Only 3,827 units were produced, and over 70 percent are still in use today. The one used by Otumfuo is about 89 years old and has served three Asantehenes.

Otumfuo Osei Agyemang Prempeh II was the first to use it in 1935 during a durbar that marked the reunion of the Asante Confederacy. After his death in 1970, Otumfuo Opoku Ware II took over and used the car for 29 years. The current Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has been using it since he was enstooled in 1999.

The sighting of the convoy happened a day after the Asantehene celebrated his 75th birthday. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, born Nana Barima Kwaku Duah on May 6, 1950, is one of Ghana’s most respected traditional rulers. He is the third son and youngest of five children born to Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II and Nana Kwame Boakye-Dankwa.

He marked 26 years on the Golden Stool on April 26, 2025, after being enstooled as the 16th Asantehene in 1999.

Otumfuo speaks on Mamponghene's burial

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a one-week observation for the late Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, will be held on May 12, 2025, at the Amaniampong Silver Stool Palace. The 86-year-old passed away while serving as caretaker of Asanteman during Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s absence.

The Asantehene, who returned from an overseas trip to the news of his death, has instructed the Mampong Traditional Council to fast-track funeral arrangements.

He expects the burial to take place less than a month after the one-week observation. In the Asante Kingdom, the Mamponghene is second only to the Asantehene in rank.
