The chief has been suspended for disobeying traditional authorities.
Nene Okukrubour Teye Kwesi Agyemang V, Divisional Chief of Numersi in the Shai Traditional Council of the Greater Accra Region, has been placed on indefinite leave for allegedly disobeying the Shai Traditional Council of Elders.
Speaking to Angel News on behalf of the Shai Traditional Council's President and Paramount Chief, Nene Odeopeor Martey Kodjo Awah IV, Gyaasehene of Numersi, Nene Ofosu Oblim II GyaaseHene, stated that they made the decision because they could not tolerate leaders who lacked discipline.
"Nene Teye Kwesi Agyeman does not respect the traditional council's leaders because he was not appointed to a position, he does not follow directions and acts on his own accord, he always speaks for himself and claims to be the Dodowa's paramount chief despite the fact that the community already has a chief," Nene Ofosu told Jaman Dehyee Opambour.
He claims that he is not the Paramount Chief of Dodowa, but rather a divisional chief of Numersi known as Mantamu Mantamu Hene.
Furthermore, they revealed that for years, Nene Okukrubour Teye Kwesi Agyemang V had made fun of the President and Paramount Chief of the Shai Traditional Council's illness.
Nene Odeopar Martey Kodjo Awah IV, the current president and paramount chief of the traditional council, wanted to impose a replacement for the traditional council because he is unable to perform his duties due to his health conditions; however, Nene Okukrubour Teye Kwesi Agyeman V does not support the procedures, he said in response to the suspension.
He claimed that all of the accusations leveled against him were false. As a result, he rejects the traditional Council's decision to suspend him.
He went on to say that, while he has never presented himself as the Paramount Chief of the Shai Traditional Council, he has had people refer to him in that capacity on occasion. There is nothing wrong with that, in his opinion.
"It is even shameful to be called president and paramount chief of Shai Traditional Council as you have seen or heard, since 2018 up to now when did you hear from the so-called president and paramount chief of the area chairing a meeting or addressing his people, among us here, who has a picture of him, we have gazetted someone as a paramount chief but we are not seeing him physically performing his duties." According to Nene Okrukubour Agyemang.
"Because he would still be carrying out his duties as Numersi's chief under the supervision of the Shai Traditional Council, he declared the suspension to be illegal and unacceptable."
