Aduana and Asona Clans in Dispute Over Boamang Maase Stool

The Aduana Clan and the Asona Clan are laying claim to the Boamang Maase stool in the Afigya Kwabre North District of the Ashanti Region.

Representatives of both clans appeared before the Kumasi Traditional Council on July 9, 2026.

The Aduana Clan was represented by the family head, Opanin Kwaku Antwi, while the Asona Clan was represented by Opanin Yaw Adusei.

Each of the clans was allowed to present its case.

Opanin Antwi recounted to the Council how they resisted the destooled linguist of the Asantehene, Kyeame Kofi Nti, who had allegedly sought to give their stool to the Asona Clan.

According to him, the struggle culminated in an oath being sworn against him, which he defied.

“I invoked the Great Oath against him to stop him from giving the stool to the Asona Clan.”

Meanwhile, Opanin Yaw Adusei referenced two rulings in his clan’s favour over the stool by Kyeame Kofi Nti and his predecessor.

To reaffirm his claim, Opanin Antwi invoked the Great Oath, which was countered by Opanin Adusei.

The parties were fined as part of traditional rites to allow the necessary rituals to proceed.
