Otumfuo visited Adum, the central business district of Kumasi, to perform a rite as part of the celebration of Awukudae festival.

The Awukudae festival happens to be one of the two main Adae festivals of the Asante people. The Asantehene arrived at Adum in a long convoy of expensive vehicles.

Among the vehicles was an antique Rolls Royce which the king rode in.
