…I will kill you and burn the palace
The new Juabeng chieftaincy problem is gradually turning into a war-like
situation with death threat message sent to the Omanhene, Daasebre Oti Boateng
warning him to renounce his kingship to the throne by tomorrow, Saturday, 25th
June, 2011 or face death.
According to the message, either he steps down as the Omanhene or they will kill
him and burn the palace because he does not hail from Koforidua. This threat and
other actions to unseat the Omanhene is brewing tension in the Koforidua
Township, creating fear and panic among the citizens.
The ultimatum to execute this diabolic agenda is during the coming Akwasidae on
26th June, 2011 bragging that they are not even afraid of whether there is
police or military protection in the palace. “Even the police is afraid of us
hence their refusal to be with us during our anti chieftaincy demonstration in
the Koforidua.The police did not even come to the scene yesterday because they
know how dangerous we are.' 'Tell the police or even the military we don't care,
we don't fear them.”
Is the country going to witness another gruesome murder of a chief as was in the
case of the Overlord of Dagbon state,Ya-Na and forty others by individuals who
rationalized those they killed as victims of war?.
.A group under the disguise, concern citizens of New Juabeng on Wednesday staged
a demonstration and accuse the Omanhene that under his reign, customs,
traditions and palace ethics have fallen to its lowest ebb affecting issues
relating to the chain of command associated with the chieftaincy institution.
The group intimated that roles of chiefs were not followed but arbitrarily
delegated without regards to custom and traditional norms, which is the hub
around which the chieftaincy institution revolves.
According to them, this type of leadership has not only made it impossible for
chiefs who have been subsume in custom and tradition to feel a traditional
nausea but has also repulsively prevented very important citizens, tourists,
investors and the youth from participating with the zeal and enthusiasm, in all
functions and durbars organized by the Omanhene.

Boateng,New Juabeng Manhene by an allege member of an opposing group to the
