Queen Nandi indicated that construction was nearly complete at the time Atehene was taken away for rehabilitation.

She presented the footage as evidence of his spiritual activities before his departure, framing the unfinished shrine as part of a deliberate practice that was interrupted by his removal.

The structure's location within lush forest cover and its materials suggest it was intended as a dedicated spiritual or ceremonial site connected to the Kubala Kingdom.

Queen Nandi maintains kidnapping claim

Beyond the footage itself, Queen Nandi has continued to dispute the circumstances surrounding her husband's absence.

She has insisted that King Atehene was not admitted to the rehabilitation centre voluntarily but was instead kidnapped, a claim she has maintained publicly.

No official response from authorities or the rehabilitation facility regarding the allegations had been provided at the time the video emerged.

The footage adds a new dimension to an already contentious situation surrounding the Kubala Kingdom's monarch, raising questions about the conditions under which he was removed and the nature of activities he was engaged in beforehand.
