Manhyia Chiefs Unveil Afia Pokua's True Identity: "She's Not From Kwawu"

• A video of Manhyia Chiefs explaining the origin of Ghanaian media personality Afia Pokua to her has surfaced
• Afia Pokua had always believed she was from Kwawu since she was nurtured at the Palace, according to her; however, the chiefs unveiled that the identity was wrong
• Netizens who saw the video greeted the news with mixed reactions as some were displeased with the chief's handling of the matter while others hailed them

Ghanaian media personality Afia Pokua was astounded at the Manhyia Palace after she found out that her ancestral roots do not lie in Kwawu as she has always believed.

The Manhyia palace chiefs opened up about her true identity when she went there to plead her case following derogatory remarks against the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Afia Pokua had always thought she was a Kwawu. She even mentioned it during her commentary on an alleged social media feud between the Ashantis and the Dormaas but was taken aback when the Chiefs told her otherwise.

During her hearing, the chiefs asked her about her origin, and she boldly stated that her mother hails from Kwawu, which automatically made her a Kwawu per the matrilineal system of inheritance associated with the Akans.

However, the chiefs proved her wrong and informed her that her mother was a Krobo and her father was a Frafra; therefore, she was not from Kwawu. The details provided at the Manhyia Palace took aback Afia Pokua.
