Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah, a controversial media personality, has slammed Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs and Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area, over his recent comments on the Golden Stool.
Speaking on his For the Records show on August 19, 2025, Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah quizzed the Dormaahene whether the Golden Stool is from the sky or not, then so what?
According to him, the Dormaahene had the perfect opportunity to talk about development, but chose to attack the Asantehene.
Afrifa-Mensah stated, “Nana Dormaahene, respectfully, if the Golden Stool is from the sky or not, then so what? The conversations you were having, what beneficial interest will that bring to the Bono people? There are a lot of pressing issues you could have addressed instead of talking about the Golden Stool.
“You had the perfect opportunity to talk about development and how to support the region, but what you did instead was driven by personal interest. What have you done for the people of Dormaa to show off?”
He continued, “Whether the Golden Stool came from the skies or not, it belongs to the Asantes and nothing else.
“You started this attack four years ago, but still, John Mahama continues to engage with the Asantes. Aren’t you tired, Nana Dormaahene? You did this for the NDC, and now that the NDC is in power, you are still attacking the Asantes.”
His comments come after Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, has said anyone who claims the Golden Stool was summoned to descend from the sky is a liar.
According to the Dormahene, the Golden Stool, when it was recently outdoored, looked welded when it was displayed in public.
Speaking during the launch of the Bonokyempem Council in the Bono Region on August 14, 2025, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, stated, “If anyone tells you they can summon something to descend from the sky, I, Agyeman Badu II, am saying it is a lie”.
“Didn’t you see when the Golden Stool was recently outdoored, it looked welded? Didn’t you see?” he quizzed.
Meanwhile, the Golden Stool of the Ashanti people is known as Sika Dwa Kofi, was said to have been summoned down from the sky by the high priest Okomfo Anokye.
According to history, the Golden Stool descended in a cloud of white dust, amidst thunder.
History further asserts that the Golden Stool landed on the lap of the first Asante king, Osei Tutu I, by the command of the Okomfo Anokye, a fetish priest.
It must be noted that the Dormaahene is a critic of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and historical narratives that he claims are distorted facts in the country’s history.
Meanwhile, Nana Obiri Boahen, a Lawyer and historian, has also tackled the Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II, President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs and Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area, following his recent comments regarding the Golden Stool.
According to Obiri Boahen, the Golden Stool of the Ashanti people, known as Sika Dwa Kofi potency that cannot be underrated.
Speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV on August 16, 2025, Obiri Boahen stated, “So, the Golden Stool, please, with due respect, don’t underrate the potency of the Golden Stool. Under no circumstances should you speak against it.
It is like you are not a Jew but underrating the Ark. Because the Ark, if you are not a Levite, you can’t touch it”.
“The Golden Stool of the Ashanti people, if you are not a royal, you can never carry it. That is one of the mysteries”, he added.
