13-year-old enstooled as chief of Pakyi No. 1

A 13-year-old JHS pupil has been enstooled as the chief of Pakyi No 1, a town in the Ashanti Region.
Barima Kwadwo Bonsu, a student of Salvation Army in Patasi was taken through some rituals at the palace yesterday.
The queen mother of Pakyi No 1, Nana Yaa Asantewaa Bonsu, who doubles as the mother of the enstooled chief, said she was ordered by Otumfuor to enstool his son and wouldn’t go contrary to tradition.
Nana Yaa Bonsu said people may criticize her, but she believes tradition must be maintained.
“I respect tradition and the Ashanti Kingdom, I respect the Otumfuor, so I cannot disobey his orders. “
