Drawing on the King's religious beliefs, Asnat framed the situation in stark terms.
"People of Ghana, Tribe of Judah, the Ashanti people, what you have done to the King is even worse than what Edomites did to him in Britain because of his faith in Yahowah and his love for his harem and Tribe," she said in the video.
She further insisted that neither his faith nor his loyalty to Queen Nandi would be shaken by the circumstances surrounding him, positioning the rehabilitation as an affront to his identity rather than a medical or welfare decision.
Family decision draws divided reactions
Reports indicate that Atehene's family was responsible for the decision to send him to the rehabilitation centre, a move that has drawn considerable public attention.
Opinions have remained split, with some acknowledging the family's intent while others from the supposed kingdom have sided with Asnat's view that the handling of the matter was inappropriate.
The video has prompted debate online, with viewers questioning both the basis of Asnat's opposition and the broader circumstances surrounding the King's current condition.
