Open Letter to Kumawuhemaa

Dear Nana Serwaah Amponsah,

Hear ye this message and act prudently accordingly, if you do not want to be consumed by the fiery anger of God that is looming ominously upon you. I am afraid by your constant obstinacy, lack of respect for Kumawuman people, your mischievous attitudes towards them, coupled with your short-sighted pursuit of insatiable greed, colluding with outsiders (Asantehene) to plunder Kumawuman in broad daylight, the wrath of God is about to engulf you like one doused in petrol and set ablaze.

For your truthful information, you and your Ankaase "royal" family members are without matrilineal lineage to Barimah Tweneboah Koduah I, the originator of the Kumawu Koduah Stool. On the contrary, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has erroneously asserted at his Manhyia Palace on 24 February 2014 that you are the descendants of Barimah Tweneboah Koduah I. He does either not know Kumawu history or he chose to lie to suit his selfish aspirations and intentions. The evidence of this, with the establishment of otherwise despised instances of bribery taking place is captured in a video posted on YouTube under the title, "Asantehene involves in corruption"

You are the source and cause of all the problems militating against the welfare of Kumawuman citizens. Kumawu, the seat of the traditional paramount chief, is without public toilets. It lacks enough home toilets, therefore leaving children and people to defecate in the backyards of their homes or the nearby bushes. This has given rise to periodic outbreak of cholera and typhoid fever in the area. Kumawuman lacks essential developments. Are you happy about the state of Kumawuman, especially Kumawu, wallowing in the scarcity of all essential things that make life worth living in Ghana?

You must be ashamed of yourself that upon all your many years spent residing in Toronto, Canada; you could not learn the better ways of the Whites. If you had, and introduced them to Ghana, it could help benefit Kumawuman where you are the queen. You only learnt how to exploit people, lord yourself stupidly over them in an intimidating manner. This is what we see you doing in Kumawu.

Why have you refused to disclose the whereabouts of the "Ataa Acheampong Abamo" that was in your care, but disappeared under mysteriously thieving circumstances from your home and from under your watch? The "Abamo" was an antiquated war trophy seized from Ataale during the Ataale Finam war that Apemso (later to become Kumawu) under Apemsohene Nana Fekan waged against the Voltarian chief. Nana Fekan had become frail, could not come back to Apemso, but died. Before then, he instructed that his nephew Tweneboah Koduah be enstooled Apemsohene to continue with the war. They did exactly as requested. Nana Tweneboah Koduah in turn defeated Ataale Finam, seizing his Afram Plains lands along with other war booties among which was the precious "Abamo" of spiritual potency.

You have colluded with Asantehene Osei Tutu II, your boyfriend and colleague from your days in Canada, to prevent the inventorying of the Kumawu palace items since the death of your brother, the late Barimah Asumadu Sakyi II, the Omanhene of Kumawu, in July 2007. It is the normal standing traditional procedure in operation in Asanteman or Kumawu that before a new chief is installed, or on the death or forced abdication of a chief from the throne; an inventory of the palace items must be undertaken. What have both of you to hide that you have done whatever is in your power to prevent Kumawu going through the normal process of inventorying?

Why are you condoning and conniving with Asantehene in what is "create, loot and share" enterprise to deprive Kumawuman of not only a vast land of theirs in the Afram Plains, but also, their money sitting in the Bank of Ghana? I am aware, and have published numerous articles on the internet about your collusion with Asantehene to sell Kumawuman lands to a Norwegian business tycoon.

Additionally, your promise of 50% of Kumawuman's money to him has become the motivating factor that has compelled him to resort to illegal processes to enthrone Dr Yaw Sarfo as Kumawuhene. By his intimidating tactics employed to cow the people of Kumawuman, he is using the Ashanti Regional Police Commander Kofi Boakye to do his dirty work for him. It is very disgraceful of you to be that myopic and with intent to allowing the dilapidation of Kumawuman to continue while Asantehene steals the wealth of Kumawuman for his selfish use.

Do you know that the right to enstool Kumawu chiefs is not vested in any Asantehene or the Golden Stool? By Kumawu history and tradition, Asantehene has fuck all to do with Kumawu chieftaincy affairs. You will not be allowed to give him that unfettered powers to needlessly meddle or interfere in Kumawuman affairs as he is currently dubiously doing because of your conniving acts of criminality.

On a more serious note, I am aware of your secret, but heinous spiritual activities directed at wounding Barimah Tweneboah Koduah V, Nana Baffoe (Akwamuhene), Nana Sarfo Agyekum (Aduanahene), Nana Krapa (Akyempemhene), Nana Darko (Nsumankwaahene) and Nana Bodweasehene and their supporters. You have solicited the services of nine fetishes in your attempts to realise this evil intent of yours. These fetish priests and fetishes are currently hiding in your house at Kumawu.

I am also aware of how they have been killing animals (cats, dogs, sheep etc.) at your request, cutting up the carcasses into small pieces and scattering the meat in Kumawu and Bodomase at nights when people are deep asleep. What do you mean by that? I know it is your intention to kill those that you see as your enemies. You think they are those preventing the full recognition of your "obo3 fa dadee fa" as the Omanhene of Kumawu.

This reminds me of a similar incident that occurred many years ago in Akuase near Nkawkaw in the Eastern region. A voltarian fetish priest, who until his death was married to one Nana Adwoa Maah from Kumawu Abotanso, did a similar thing when the people in the town objected to his presence and practice of fetishism in the town. They wanted him out as they did not want to have any dealing with fetishism. He killed a sheep, cut it up and scattered the meat in some parts of the town. Barely two days into his evil act, had nine people died. The people then rushed to him begging for forgiveness and encouraging him to practice his fetishism in Akuase in peace.

I believe you are seeking a pregnant woman for the purposes of your criminal activities in favour of Dr Yaw Sarfo, the publicly rejected chief your evil machinations helped impose on Kumawu. Will the person be sacrificed or what? You are also known to pour libations, bare yourself naked, and drag your buttocks along the floor cursing people.

If you intend to kill anyone by your devilish nocturnal activities as stated above, then the following bible verse-messages must be your portion – Psalm 109:16-20 - 16Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. 17As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. 19Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. 20Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

Your evil intentions for the good people of Kumawuman, especially towards Barimah Tweneboah Koduah V and his supporters are same as those that Haman in the book of Esther had wished for the Jews. Subsequently, the fate that befell Haman may befall you should you not repent and run away from your devilish activities and intentions. Esther chapter 9:24-25 - 24For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had schemed against the Jews to destroy them and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to disturb them and destroy them. 25But when it came to the king's attention, he commanded by letter that his wicked scheme which he had devised against the Jews should return on his own head and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

Oh Dear queen, be it known to you from today forward that Barimah Tweneboah Koduah V, has been appointed by God Almighty Himself to liberate Kumawuman citizens from their current slavery under your hands and that of your Ankaase family. Therefore, you cannot collude with Asantehene, Police Commander Kofi Boakye and other Asanteman chiefs to obstruct the wish of God. Has anyone ever waged battle on God and prevailed against Him? No! If so, do not try because you will never be the first one to set a record, winning against God.

Lest I forget, did you not once phone up Norway, asking those you are conniving with Asantehene to lease 240,000 hectares of Kumawu Afram Plains stool lands to for a period of 50 years at US$2.50 per hectare per year to transfer US$500,000 into your bank account? They refused you the money, didn't they?

I have detail information on many things concerning Kumawu relating to your notorious activities. I pray you will change your character for the better before things become had I known to you. As long as you cannot overpower the Living God Almighty, so cannot you prevail against His Chosen One (Barimah Tweneboah Koduah V). Why are you using the police to intimidate people? They cannot help you retain Yaw Sarfo on the throne for his reign is not ordained by God. His reign is comparable to the morning dew that dissipates at the rising of the Sun.

If you have ears, listen to what the spirit is telling you, oh Kumawuhemaa.

Yours Sincerely,

Rockson Adofo
