There is simmering tension at Teacher – Mante Community in Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region over the installation of illegitimate Chief in the community.
Some youth enraged by the happenings have reportedly locked up the Chief’s palace to block any attempt to enstooled the said Chief.
The Mmerantehene of the Teacher -Mante Kwadwo Ayisi has reportedly nominated someone performing customary tires and rituals for his installation while some other kingmakers are also in the process of enstooling another person as Chief of the community.
The situation has led to escalating tension in the community which could trigger violent clashes if security is not beefed up immediately.
“The Mmerantehene Kwadwo Ayisi has nominated someone to install him as Chief. He has no right to do that, we have locked the Chief Palace to prevent him from invading the palace to perform any rite. There is a tension here and anything can happen”. A resident said.
The Teacher -Mante stool has become vacant after the death and burial of the Chief -Nana Anim Mante three years ago. The late Chief who was a Journalist ruled for 13 years.
