The newly outdoored Mankralo of Prampram, in the Greater Accra Region, Ebenezer Mensah, has been described as an imposter.
The Head of the Obonu Wem, Emmanuel Tetteh, Nartey, at a news conference hinted that Mr. Mensah was not the legitimate person for the position and should be rejected by all.
“In our state of mourning our late Mankralo, news came to us that E.T Mensah’s brother, one Ebenezer Mensah, has been imposed on the elders to be installed as Mankralo of Prampram, it was quite unbelievable so we ignored it,” he disclosed.
He indicated that consultations were ongoing and because Prampram was a comparatively small community, every discussion was leaked out.
Mr. Nartey stated that the acceptance of Mensah as Mankralo of the area would go a long way to affect the current peace enjoying by the good people of the town.
“The news about the installation of Mensah as Mankralo of the town went opened and we the family of Nene Atsure Benta III Stool took the matter to court on the basis of the fact that, the Former Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Mr. Enock Tetteh Mensah, and his brother are not from Obonu Wem,” he hinted.
“It was however surprising and sad to see some greedy elders hurriedly preparing for the next Mankralo of which Obonu Wem Family was ignored,” Mr. Nartey further informed.
He stated they the rightful owners of the Prampram Mankralo Stool of Kle Obonu Wem protested but the mighty hands of E.T Mensah were still influencing the process.
“We therefore have no choice than take the matter to court because E.T Mensah and his brother were aliens to our Royal Stool. Whilst at court, he again influences the bad elders to go ahead with the installation of his brother as the Mankralo of Prampram,” Mr. Nartey disclosed.
According to him the Tema High Court in a ruling asked Mr. Ebenezer Mensah to stop parading himself as the Mankralo of Prampram, with a warning that the processes must be duly completed at the court for the owners to take over what belongs to them.
“We the Family of Obonu Wem are really grateful to God for indicating us from the cruel hands of Mr. E.T Mensah and his aliens. We also blessed the judge who did not allow dirty political influence to take the place of justice,” he disclosed.
