The emerging news bares that the overlord of the Asante Kingdom has lost a very prominent person in his kingship.
Nana Kwadwo Nyantakyi, the Sanaahene of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II is dead.
The Manhyia Palace announced his departure, but the cause of his death remain unknown.
Brief history has it that, in the Akan politics, Sanaa is the Bag or Bɔtɔ (Sack) that contains some of the Sika Kɔkɔɔ (Gold) of Otumfoɔ Asantehene. The first AKAN King to create the SANAAHENE (Chief Treasurer) was Ɔdɛɛfoɔ Bɔ Amponsem of the Kingdom of Dankyira.
Nana Kwadwo Nyantaky succeeded his father, and he served Otumfoɔ Santehene and Asanteman beginning with Otumfoɔ Prempeh II, and did so outstandingly well.
