The Judicial Committee of the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs has ruled that Owusu Daniel Dickson must cease presenting himself as the Omanhene of the Anum Traditional Council. This decision follows a determination that Mr Dickson's chieftaincy claims are without merit, as Okusiaku-Brempong Kumi Sasraku VII has been duly enstooled and recognised as the legitimate chief. The Kyedomhene of the Anum Traditional Council, Nana Kolihue XI, filed an interlocutory injunction against supporters of Opanin Kwabena Ayesu and Okogyeman Nana Kwasi Anyane for acknowledging Dickson as the Omanhene.

Okusiaku-Brempong Kumi Sasraku VII was enstooled on 5th May and formally inducted into the Eastern Regional House of Chiefs on 13...
