The Eastern Regional House of Chiefs has given its judgment on the Akwamu cheiftaincy dispute which had been pending for over 25 years, declaring Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III, as the recognized and accepted Paramount Chief of Akwamu.<\/p>\n
The case involved Abusuapanyin Kojo Kyer Addaquay and Abrewatia Love Adwo\u00a0 Som as the petitioners, and Nana Afrakoma II, Nana Nyarkoa (Benkumhemaa) Nana Asomani (Amanguahene) and Kwame Owiredu as the respondents.<\/p>\n
The petitioners challenged the eligibility of Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III, the Paramount Chief of Akwamu, stating that the Chief was an outsider who was not from the royal family.<\/p>\n
