The Okyeman Traditional Council has summoned the outspoken member of the Asona royal family of Kyebi, Odehye Nana Adjei Boateng, to substantiate his allegations against the Okyehene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panyin II.
Some members of the Asona royal family led by Odehye Boateng last week accused the Okyehene of consenting to some illegal mining activities being carried out behind one of his royal houses.
Odehye Boateng has come under fire for his comments against the respected king and would be required to buttress his allegations with hardcore evidence. His royalty status has also been questioned.
His nephew, Nana Boakye Yiadom, has told Citi News those allegations are baseless. He said the Traditional Council has no right to summon his uncle because they are mere servants in the palace.
According to Nana Yiadom, �he is a royal and the person who is saying that my uncle is not a royal should come and show us the reason why he�s not a royal. � �We�d be going to the palace today [Tuesday], we know our tradition and if we do something and it is not good, we know what we have to do,� he added.
�All the sub chiefs under the Okyehene cannot call us and tell us to dare them and they would tell us whatever they like. They are in the house as maid servants and they don�t have any right to call [us] the royals. �
