Effigy of Otumfuo creates confusion due to its striking resemblance to actual human, photos

In an earlier publication, YEN.com.gh reported that social media had been in a frenzy after photos of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II's effigy surfaced online.

This comes after the Asante Nation, in a Facebook post, shared photos of the beautiful sculpture as it announced that the Manhyia Meusuem had been opened to the public.

The photos showed moments when the Asantehene, with his entourage, inspected the museum to see other artefacts that had been put out there for display.
