In the most recent chieftaincy conflict between the two sides, the Akyem Abuakwa traditional council has given notice to the residents of Nsawam Adoagyiri that it would not transfer any of its territories to them.
The state secretary of Akyem Abuakwa, D M Ofori-Atta, warned the Akyem Kotoku people that they are not prepared to compromise on the issue at a news conference at Kyebi in the Eastern Region.
Ofori-Atta stated that the Abuakwa state has worked to preserve friendly and mutually beneficial connections with the Akyem Kotoku people.
He said that Nsawam Adoagyiri will have a new chief appointed when it is opportune.
“The actions of a few persons with parochial monetary interest to present George Twum as chief of Adoagyiri threaten the public peace and communal solidarity in these areas,” Ofori-Atta said.
“The appropriate law enforcement measures shall be taken if the situation persists,” he added.
The Adoagyiri stool has been vacant since the death of its chief Barima Adu Korkor in 2007.
