𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝: On August 3, 2026, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II ruled that the Abrade Stool belongs to the Asona Royal Clan, not the Oyoko.

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: The Asantehene met privately with the Oyoko side since the matter involved his uncle’s family, Otumfuo Agyemang Prempeh.

𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬: He explained that his uncle had appointed his wife to the female stool, and her descendants have occupied it since.

𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Otumfuo urged the Asona clan to be patient, assuring them that once the current queenmother passes, the stool will revert to them permanently.

𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐝: A related boundary issue raised by Nana Saasi Ayeboafo II, Mampongtenghene, was resolved, with Otumfuo clarifying that the Owabe River separates the territories.
