Massive celebrations erupted in Kenyase No 2 on Sunday, July 27, 2026, after Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II destooled the paramount chief of the area, Nana Kwabena Nsia Ababio, bringing an end to a reign that had stretched across 89 years on the stool.

Otumfuo took the decisive action after Nana Kwabena Nsia was found to have breached Asante custom by permitting his wife to meddle in the affairs of the traditional area, a conduct deemed a serious affront to the values of the Asante Nation.

A historic end to a near-century reign

The removal of Nana Kwabena Nsia marks one of the more significant chieftaincy interventions in the Ashanti Region in recent memory, given the extraordinary length of his time on the stool.

The Asantehene's authority to destool chiefs who violate customary norms remains a cornerstone of the traditional governance structure within the Asante Kingdom, and Sunday's action underscored that no tenure, however long, shields a chief from accountability under that framework.
