Ga Mantse Angrily Pours Libation in Old Video, Commands Deity to Deal With Rival Nii Adama Latse II

• Ga Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II has been spotted in a solemn previous engagement with the deities linked to his throne
• The video resurfaced after his rival, Nii Adama Latse II, ramped up efforts to disprove his occupying of the Ga Mashie seat
• The Ghanaian king's emotional moment as he sternly affirmed his right to the throne has garnered significant views online

The Office of the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru I, previously beseeched the deities of Ga Mashie to settle the fiery rivalry between him and Nii Adama Latse II, who claims to be the rightful occupant of the Ga Mantse stool.

In the video, which has resurfaced online, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II was seen in red cloth flanked by his supporters as he poured libation.

The paramount chief spoke angrily about the long-standing rivalry and plot to nullify his rulership as Ga Mantse.

During the solemn spiritual session, the monarch, who has been accused of not being a true native of the land, reaffirmed his roots and threw a challenge to his rival.

"When we were spilling blood to build this state, where were they? Today, they're claiming to be the rightful rulers. Who are they? I fear no one, because I know where I'm coming from. They better step back! Today, we have built up this state.There's nothing any person can do to remove me. Not NDC, not NPP, nobody!"

The dignified Ga Mantse, who appeared peeved and frustrated during the spiritual exercise. completed the libation with some incantations and insults.

The libation comes after Nii Adama Latse II and his legal team announced a Kumasi court ruling that ordered the National House of Chiefs to re-enter Nii King Adama Latse II's name in the register as Ga Mantse within 14 days.

"He's not dead, he's not abdicated his stool, and no order has removed him as the Ga Mantse. So he remains the Ga Mantse," Nii Adama's lawyers established.

King Teiko Tsuru II's office has described his rival's claims as 'false, misleading, and legally unfounded'.

“The courts have no jurisdiction to determine causes or matters affecting chieftaincy. It is legally inaccurate to claim that the Court of Appeal has declared Nii Adama Latse II as Ga Mantse," portions of the King Teiko Tsuru's statement read.
