Asantehene Directs Mamponghemaa To Bury Late Mamponghene In Next 3 Weeks

The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has directed the Asante Mamponghemaa, Nana Agyakoma Difie II, to organise the burial of the late Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, in the next few weeks.

Otumfuo has directed that the one-week observation of the second-in-command of Asanteman, should be organised next Monday, May 12, insisting that he does not want to entertain any delays in the organisation of the burial (Doteyie).

After the one-week observation, the Asantehene wants the burial (Doteyie) to be organised three weeks afterwards for him [Asantehene] to bury his second-in-command and Occupant of the Silver Stool of Asanteman.

In the meantime, the Asantehene has put all Asanteman Council meetings on hold until the burial is over.

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s 75th birthday on Tuesday, May 6, will be observed in a solemn mood because of the demise of the Mamponghene.

At a meeting of Asanteman in Kumasi on Monday [May 5], Otumfuo Osei Tutu II directed that he wanted everything, including finding a replacement chief for the late Occupant of the Silver Stool, to be done immediately after the 40-day observation.

According to Otumfuo, he wants the successor to be found immediately after the 40 days, for the successor to organise the 80 days observation after the death.

These were the highlights when Asanteman gathered at the Manhyia Palace on Monday, where the death of the Asante Mamponghene was announced to the entire gathering of paramount chiefs in Asanteman.

In line with tradition, the Asantehene was informed about the death last Monday.

Following that, a public announcement was made by the Gyaasehene, Nana Boakye Yiadom Atonsa in Mampong.

The 86-year-old Mamponghene was first taken to the KNUST Hospital in Kumasi on Thursday, April 17, 2025, from where he was referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), also in Kumasi, where he was pronounced dead.
