In 1733, a historic event took place at the Abotakyi township, one that sealed a memorandum of understanding between the Akyems and the Akuapems. Things have changed over the years however; the town has largely become small and obsolete today owing to some rare circumstances. “Trouble ensued between two people at Abotakyi over a piece of yam, and the whole town was destroyed. “The chief in that town is one of the powerful chiefs in Akuapem, that’s why they met there for the Abotakyi Accord. So now, the town is a small one geographically but Abotakyi is a big town in the history of Akuapem,” he added.
