Tension is mounting in Kwahu-Abene following the installment of a second Chief for the area Saturday dawn.
Daasebre Akuamoah Kwasi Agyepong II known in private life as Eugene Kwasi Asante Boadi, a 34-year-old Chartered Accountant was installed as Abenehene and Kwahuhene following the enstoolment of Prof. Badu Akosa as Chief for same town.
The legitimacy of Prof. Akosa is under contention by an opposing faction of the kingmakers and Chiefs in the area led by Chief of Abetifi and Acting Paramount Chief of Kwahuman, Nana Asiedu Agyemang II.
A disclaimer was issued by the opposing group indicating that Prof. Akosa, the renowned pathologist, is not the Chief of Abene and for that matter, paramount Chief of Okwahuman.
The situation led to clashes and injuries as the two factions invaded Abene township with Land guards.
Eventhough the security managed to quell what could have been deadly clashes in the area in the aftermath of the installation of Prof. Akosa, the security in Kwahu-Abene has remained volatile.
The enstoolment of Daasebre Akuamoah Kwasi Agyepong II, has created a volatile security situation as tension is rising again in the entire traditional area.
Abene is the traditional head of the Kwahu traditional area hence a legitimate chief installed as Chief of Abene automatically becomes the Paramount Chief of Kwahu traditional area.
Information gathered indicates that, another faction is gearing up to also install another Chief for the same area.
