Prosecuting, the District Police Commander for Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa, Superintendent Alex Akwa told the court presided over by His Worship Clement Akwasi Asoma that Nana Yamoah the fourth, chief of Brakwa, was on August 28 jointly pronounced destooled by Abusuapanyin Ebow and Nana Asantewaa, Queenmother of Brakwa, in collaboration with the elders of the royal family of Asene Number One.

Superintendent Akwa said on October 29, Nana Yamoah attempted to renovate the palace, and four others, supporters of the Queen-mother and the Abusuapanyin, went and destroyed the mortar and scraped the paint on the walls of the palace.
