Chief of Kutuse, Nii Ayikuma Teikuba II has asked his people to disregard and discard one ‘Adomua’ who pride himself as the chief of the area.
According to him, Adumoa is not the legitimate chief of the area so people should desist transacting business with him, especially when it comes to lands
“My family called me and said they’ve seen one Adumoa priding himself as the chief of Kutunse and that setlight belongs to his grandfather — so the family called me and want to explain that Adumoa is not the chief of Kutunse.
He explained that Adumoa was the chief but later dis-stooled later.
“Adumoa was the chief of Kutunse but he was later dis-stooled about 7 years ago before I was made chief. They’ve not even seen him ever since he was dis-stooled so they do not know where he came from to call himself the chief of Kutunse reason the family called for this press conference”
Asked why Nii Ayikuma Teikuba calls himself the chief of Kutunse, he said “I was chosen by the family. I was the Asafoatse of the area so one day, they called me — upon my arrival they started shootings and called the gods, did the customary rites and I was made the chief of Kutunse. I don’t call myself the chief area but the family.”
The family said “ever since they dis-stooled him as the chief, there was no person other than me. They saw me as the heir to the throne reason they made me the chief”
“After the necessary customary rites and I was made the chief, I called Adumoa to come home so talk about what the family has done, in case maybe there would be another position for you because he was a National Security Personnel. I went to his office to apologize because the family had already done and made me the chief and see how we can settle this, I met his absence but his friends ‘’Joe and Wanky’ so I discussed with them which they later told the happenings within the area since Adumoa was made the chief”
“They heard Adumoa has been dis-stooled — the advised him but he didn’t listen. They showed me papers indicating that the family has dis-stooled him as the chief of the area so after I went there, his friends called him to come but immediately, he saw me he runned away so his friends were all surprised he runaway”
Nii Ayikuma Teikuba II later told the media and the people of Kutunse that, Adumoa is not the chief of the area he’s not been in the area for about 7 years.
“I haven’t seen Adumoa for about 7 years I was made the chief so disregard any news of him been the chief is the area. Every invite from the state, I’m the only person to attend and also we have association at Amasaman [Ga West], I’ve been the only person to attend those meetings, the certificate from the family indicating my name as the chief of the area so I’m a member of the Ga West together with my Queen-mother”
“The family, “Abolapiam” told me the set light is for us, our late chief, Nii Tackie-Oblie II gave the land to Dr Kwame Nkrumah, he never sold the land to Kwame Nkrumah so those who work on the land spoke to us and everything was documented.
They compensated the workers on the land but the owners of the land were not compensated by the government”
When they saw that the rest of the land were not being used, the Abolapiam family started selling the lands that made setlight to come with a copy of documents which indicated the Bafferzone. They took some developers to court, we joined the suit and setlight people stopped appearing in court. We still have the case in court, the day we heard of the demolition in the area, we told our lawyer to file the case — but we’ve not heard from them meanwhile those farming on the land have been compensated but the owners of the land haven’t been compensated”
“I can tell you due to that, some of the elders of Abolapiam family are selling the lands so the government have to intervene”
Speaking to the media, Adukrokoto II, stool father of Abola Piami in Accra also waded into issue and said “I’m the stool father of the house. I did the customary rite to install Nii Ayikuma Teikuba II as the chief of Kutuse. So, Adumoa is not the chief so if he doesn’t stop whatever he’s doing to bring chaos in the area, I will drag him to court.
I installed him as the chief but we later dis-stool him because of his bad behaviour.
I can confidently tell you that Nii Ayikuma Teikuba II is the chief of Kutuse because I did the customary rite to install him”
“Adumoa is the chief of Kutunse, so whoever transact business with him does that in his/her own risk”
