The chiefs and people of Kwahu Abene in the East Kwahu District of the Eastern Region on Thursday, May 4, 2017, installed Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa as the chief of the town. Prof Akosa, a former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), was installed with the stool name, Daasebre Mampong Adjei II. However, a rival claimant was installed as Omanhene of the Kwahu Traditional Area, which deepened the dispute over the paramountcy. Currently, the following towns, Abetifi, Pepease, Obomeng, Tafo, Aduamoah and Atibie, are experiencing some uneasy calm as a result of the chieftaincy dispute. The chieftaincy problems are said to be have been attributed to the Abetifihene and a destooled Krontihene of Abene, as well as the ex-Akyeamehene of the latter town.
