A list has emerged online that is allegedly the full list of people who will form the entourage accompanying the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to the 2022 Hogbetsotso Festival. The annual festival of the Anlos of the Volta Region is celebrated to commemorate the exodus of the Ewe people from the oppressive tyranny of King Agorkorli in Togo. This year’s celebration will mark the 60th anniversary of the festival and the Asantehene has been invited to attend.
