Blogger Enoch Bosomtwi backs Otumfuo's guard
After a chat with Enoch Bosomtwi, Ghanaian Entertainment blogger/pundit, Nana Kwaku Duah believed disrespecting Otumfour and hiding behind the phone was not pleasant, and he deserves such treatment.
“Nana Kwaku Duah should have apologized for any offence he made against the Asanteman, before setting foot in Mahyia at such a moment, he really deserved, that since you can't disrespect and rain insults on Otumfuo in Ghana and still visit him, this must serve as a deterrent to other people who hide behind the phone and spill all sort of blasphemy words against people in high esteeem”.

Previously, YEN.com.gh also reported that the Dormaahene stirred controversy after he challenged the alleged divine origin of the Asantehene's ancestral stool.
Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr Agyemang Badu II stated the stool, unveiled during the Asantehene's Silver Jubilee, looked welded rather than descended from the sky.
