The ruling by the Otumfuo was pronounced during a gathering of the Kumasi Traditional Council on Monday.
The necessary rituals for the destoolment process have commenced promptly.
Antoa, the town in question, is renowned for its river deity, Antoa Anyaman Bosom, which is known for delivering immediate justice.
The Antoa shrine is widely recognized in Ghana as a sacred place for taking oaths, where individuals involved in disputes seek resolution.
Additionally, Antoa is a site where rituals are conducted to seek relief from the obligations tied to oaths made before the deity.
