The Judicial Committee of the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs has, through legal means, warned one Owusu Daniel Dickson to stop carrying himself out as the Omanhene of the Anum Traditional Council with in Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region.
This decision follows a determination that Dickson Owusu chieftaincy claims are without merit, as Akusiaku-Brempong Kumi Sasraku VII has been duly enstooled and recognised as the legitimate chief.
The Kyedomhene of the Anum Traditional Council, Nana Kolihue XI, filed an interlocutory injunction against supporters of Opanin Kwabena Ayesu Okogyeman Nana Kwasi Anyane for acknowledging Dickson as the Omanhene.
A three-member committee, chaired by Nene Sackite II, ruled in favour of Akusiaku-Brempong Kumi Sasraku VII, restraining Mr Dickson from representing himself as the Paramount Chief of the Anum Traditional Area and barring his supporters from endorsing his claims.
Akusiaku-Brempong Kumi Sasraku VII was enstooled on 5th May and formally inducted into the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs on 13th July 2023, following the passing of Omanhene Appiah Kumi II, who reigned for 46 years.
The ruling underscores the importance of respecting traditional institutions and processes, highlighting the role of the House of Chiefs in maintaining chieftaincy integrity in the region.
