The Oyoko Traditional Stool has mysteriously disappeared from its secured location in the Seikwa Traditional Council's throne room, sparking concern in the Tain District of the Bono Region.
This incident unfolded after the stool had been sealed away for six years following the demise of the late Seikwamanhene, Nana Kwaku Dwumah Ankoana II.
The late chief was buried in 2014. During the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Nana Kwaku Dwumah Ankoana II, members of the Oyoko Royal Family were shocked to discover that two of their cherished traditional stools were missing from the revered throne room.
