Funeral of the late Barima Kwame Nkyi XII
Barima Kwame Nkyi was the 19th Paramount Chief (Omanhene) of Assin Apimanim Traditional Area and occupant of the Mintah Abu stool. After 48 years of an exceptional reign since 1968, He passed on to be with his ancestors. On 25th February, 1931 at Agona Nsaba in the Central Region of Ghana, Paul Baah Andam (the name before his ascension) was born to Papa Kojo Appiah and Maame Ekua Fosuah from the Assin Apimanim Royal Asona clan, who was a sister to his maternal uncle and immediate predecessor, Nana Kwame Nkyi XI. Though he was a brave and sagacious king, contentions surrounding the election of his successor, will halt his funeral rites of passage.
