 Nana Kumi Akyeaw II, Abesimhene Nana Kumi Akyeaw, who is the Kyidomhene of the Dormaa Traditional Area, was on Tuesday granted bail in the sum of GH¢1000 by a Sunyani circuit court to reappear on August 5, 2009. According to the prosecutor, the chief allegedly beat up 71-year-old Madam Akua Konadu, a resident of Abesim, in October last year after the latter led a team of police officers to the house of the former to cause his arrest following the chief’s The prosecutor said when Nana Kumi Akyeaw emerged from his room and saw the face of the old lady, he got angry and questioned her mission in his house. However, before the poor woman could say a word, the chief violently held her and instantly gave her two slaps which landed her on the floor. The fact of the case is that the daughter of the chief, Namenama, is battling with Madam Konadu over the ownership of a cocoa farm believed to have been cultivated almost 20 years ago. According to reports, Nana Kumi Akyeaw allegedly hired three people whose names were given as Simon, Alhaji (son of Namenama) and Kwasi Bana to destroy the disputed cocoa farm. According to the police, the chief later bailed the suspects but they failed to show up in subsequent court proceedings. The action of the suspects unduly delayed the trial of the case since they absconded after the bail. The court, not pleased with the action of the chief, ordered the police to produce him in place of the suspects. And it was when the old lady led the police to the Chief’s house that she was attacked. |
