Otumfuo Osei Tutu II visited the Headquarters of the Ghana Police Service at Ridge on Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
The visit was to discuss several policy issues and was seen as a confirmation of the Asantehene’s confidence in the leadership of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohunu.
Appiah Stadium meets Otumfuo’s convoy
Before the Asantehene’s arrival, anticipation had built up at the police headquarters, with the place beautifully decorated to welcome the monarch.
The Asantehene’s convoy eventually arrived in a beautiful show of force.
As the cars approached the entrance of the police headquarters, Appiah Stadium emerged from nowhere and ran before Otumfuo’s vehicle.
Holding the flag of the Ashanti Kingdom, he showered praises and appellations on the king as he led the convoy on foot to its destination.
The TikTok video of Appiah Stadium welcoming Otumfuo's arrival is below.
Appiah Stadium's history with Otumfuo
Having built a reputation as Ghana's most entertaining hypeman, Appiah Stadium often hails influential Ghanaians during their trips.
However, he appears to hold a special reverence for Otumfuo as the overlord of the Ashanti Kingdom.
Appiah Stadium frequently intercepts the monarch on his travels and always acts in an overblown and dramatic manner to register his reverence.
In May 2025, he gained attention online after he lay on the floor for the Asantehene after they had a personal encounter at the Millennium Excellence Award golf tournament.
In October 2025, he once more trended online after he knelt on the floor to show his reverence as a royal convoy rolled by on its way to the Ahafo region for an event.
Otumfuo and his subjects were headed to Techire, a community situated in the Tano North Municipal District of the Ahafo Region, when they encountered the popular political activist.
As the luxurious vehicles passed by him, Appiah Stadium held a pole stand with the Ashanti Kingdom's flag, which he energetically waved in the air. He also showered praise on the Asantehene as he continued to kneel on the busy road.

Asantehene's bodyguard nearly sacked from police headquarters
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that the Asantehene's bodyguard, Seidu Mba, was nearly sacked from the police headquarters premises before the Asante monarch's arrival.
The famous security chief arrived early to check things on the ground as he waited for Otumfuo's arrival, while police officers were lined up for the guard of honour parade.
An awkward moment occurred when a police officer at the headquarters, who appeared not to know Seidu, motioned for him to 'go', sparking strong reactions on social media.
