Nana Adowaa Anima, the Queen Mother of the Akwadum Traditional Area, has taken decisive action to initiate the ceremonial rites for the destoolment of Chief Nana Owusu Agyare. The chief faces accusations of unauthorized sales of over 500 acres of stool land, as well as selling properties belonging to residents without permission in Akwadum, a community in the New Juaben North Municipality of the Eastern Region. The allegations against Chief Nana Owusu Agyare led to swift action by Queen Mother Nana Adowaa Anima.

This lack of assistance has, in part, led to increasing instances of deviant behavior among some Muslim youth, which, unfortunately, contributes to negative stereotypes about Muslims in the country. In response to this issue, a group of Muslim women in Akyem Osino, located in the Fanteakwa South District of the Eastern Region, has established a foundation dedicated to supporting the underprivileged within the Muslim community.

She emphasized that many brilliant but needy students and others who required assistance were neglected, leading some to stray into unproductive paths. “This...
