Nana Kwasi Bosomprah, the revered Goasomanhene and the Asantehene’s chief palm wine tapper, has passed away at the age of 58. The tragic news broke earlier today, sending shockwaves through the Asante Kingdom and beyond.
The late chief was a pivotal figure in the Goaso Traditional Area, where he served as both a leader and a custodian of cultural heritage. As the chief palm wine tapper to the Asantehene, Nana Kwasi Bosomprah held a unique and respected position within the royal court, symbolizing the deep connection between tradition and the monarchy.
Family members, local chiefs, and residents of Goaso have expressed profound grief at the loss of their leader. "Nana was not just a ruler but a unifier who brought development and peace to Goaso. His leadership will be sorely missed," said one resident.
