PRESS CONFERENCE BY THE GBESE PEOPLE OF OSUDOKU UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE THE ABLAO HIGH PRIEST OF OSUDOKU ON SATURDAY 23RD MARCH, 2024 AT OSUWEM.
Below is the statement read at the Press Conference by Mr. Teye Chaie, the secretary to the Ablao High Priest of Osudoku.
“ Good afternoon, Nene me, Nana me, Men & Women of the press, Ma bii and the general public.
We are gathered here today, to witness a wonderful moment in the history of Osudoku. Our elders use to say that, “if you don’t know where you came from, you will not know where you are going”.
In view of the fact that, time is not on our side, I will like to go straight to the point without wasting any time at all.
Osudoku as most of us know, was founded by a Nadu Priest named Ogbe Assumeng. Today am here to inform you that, Ogbe Asumeng was not the founder of Osudoku but rather, his eldest Son by name Matey Ika II founded Osudoku.
Prior to Matey Ika II, the Gbese people settled on this very land and called it Osu. They were then led by a Nadu Priest named Ogbe Asumeng Ankrah Botuako. This was wayback somewhere in the 12th century.
Ogbe Asumeng Ankrah Botuako was succeeded by his Son Matey Ika
Matey Ika was also succeeded by his half-brother Ogbey Asumeng.
Ogbe Asumeng was succeeded by his Son Ogbey Asumeng II
Ogbey Asumeng II was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo
Matey Aflo was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo II
Matey Aflo II was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo III
Matey Aflo III was succeeded by his Son Ogbey Asumeng III
Ogbe Asumeng III was succeeded by his Son Ogbe Asumeng IV.
During the reign of Ogbey Asumeng IV, the Osu People were conquered by the great Ashanti Army and they were driven away from the land which they occupied. Some of them went to other places like Togo, Benin, and Akwapim. Ogbey Asumeng IV led some of the Gbese People who were mostly his family members, across the Volta to Tetetutu. They first settled at a place called “Takolokonya” (The Togoland Plains) and later moved on and settled at a place called “Huatsi” before finally making their journey to Tetetutu.
Not long after reaching Tetetutu, Ogbey Asumeng IV died and his eldest son inherited his father as Matey Ika II.
Matey Ika II was then ordered by the Nadu Deity to return to their old district. He therefore took his father’s stool which he was occupying, and together with his family, headed back to the old district of his forefathers. They resettled in the “we doku” (old settlement area) and that was how Osu became Osudoku. Matey Ika II therefore became the founder and ruler of Osudoku.
Under the leadership of Matey Ika II, Gbese Kponno Yokworsi Ma, ceased to be Ma (Town) owing to the War that drove the whole Osu people across the Volta River and other places in the time of Ogbe Asumeng IV and now became only a Tribe known and called Gbese Kpono Yokworsi Tribe.
The Gbese Kpono Yokworsi Tribe increased in size and there was the need to divide them into two main groups known and called Gbese Kpono and Gbese Dorm, each of which consisted of three minor clans as follows;
1. Gbese Kponno which consisted of three minor clans according to their order of seniority is as follows;
a. Gberse Kponno Yokworsi or Tekworsi Clan
b. Dakakusi Clan
c. Dongotsonya Clan
2. Gbese Dorm - which consisted of three minor clans which according to their order of seniority is as follows;
a. Nomo Wem Clan
b. Wengwam Clan
c. Langwornya Clan
It was after this division has been made that the Aboriginal natives of Osudoku received their refugees and lived together with them.
The refugees of Osudoku were received in the following order according to the order in which they arrived.
a) La tribe from La-doku
b) Nor tribe from Nukportey in Anglo
c) Tsangme tribe from Fanti Chammah
d) Manya tribe from Tsubru in Krachi District
e) Dorsi tribe from Ashanti
f) Klekpa tribe from Akwamu
g) Buam tribe from Akwapem
h) Sɛwem tribe from Sɛ or Shai
The Nor tribe of refugees were later joined together with the La tribe to form the present-day Lanor Clan of Osudoku. Tsangme, Manya, Buam and Sɛwem tribes were attached to Dorsi tribe as a minor tribe. This was done just to form them up into one group
With all these merging of tribes, the Refugee tribes of Osudoku became three namely; Lanor, Dorsi and Klekpa. The two main Aboriginal families of Gbese Kponno and Gbese Dorm remained unchanged until the late 1920s, when the Tekworsi Clan which was made up of the direct descendants of Matey Ika II (founder of Osudoku), became a division on its own.
At that point, Osudoku became known to have five clans and the head and first clan was Gbese Kpono Yokworsi or Tekworsi, (the family of Matey Ika II), Paramount ruler and High Priest of Nadu Shrine in Osudoku.
Matey Ika II ruled for many years as the longest serving Nadu High Priest and Paramount ruler of the people of Osudoku.
As mentioned earlier on, the Lanor tribe is a combination of two refugee tribes namely; Nor tribe from Nukportey in Anglo and La tribe from La-doku. At a point in time, there was a quarrel over headship of the Lanor tribe of refugees and this divided the tribe and Nuer who claimed for himself the headship position and was rejected, took part of his mother’s people and left the Osudoku town and settled at the Coast of Accra and formed a town known and called Christiansburg.
This was during the time of Matey Ika II – Paramount ruler and Priest of Nadu Shrine.
Matey Ika II was succeeded by his son, Narh Ankrah Botuaku II. it was during the reign of Narh Ankra Botuaku II that another Ashanti Army threatened to attack Osudoku. This was prior to the Katamanso War of 1826.
A meeting was held by the whole town and it was resolved at that meeting that, Narh Ankrah Botuaku should adopt all means necessary to prevent a second defeat at the hands of the Ashanti’s, as it has been the duty of his ancestors long before him to come up with strategies to defend their people against foreign armies.
Narh Ankra Botuaku II together with his counsellors created a war stool and added war magic to the said stool. The Stool was given to Otu Adsena of Dorsi to be taken to war.
Narh Ankrah Botuaku II further took two of his sons namely; Tetteh-Tsu Kpetsu and Narh Ngwuah and presented them to a certain Man by name Narh Kwame at Ningo in exchange for gun powder and cartridges. He got the ammunitions and divided them to all the fighting men in the town and with these new weapons, the Osudokus managed to stand their grounds against the Ashanti army when they eventually attacked.
Tetteh Animle whose father was Otu Adsena took over the War stool at a time when he was a servant in the Nadu Shrine and after the Volo Doffor War of 1874 to 1880, Tetteh Animle begun representing himself as Mante of Osudoku. And this was what culminated in the1913 enquiry into the Constitution and tribal organization of Osudokus by the then colonial commissioner Mr. C.H Harper.
Prior to the Katamanso War, Osudoku did not have any Mantse and no one referred to himself or assumed for himself, the title of Mantse. The various clans were led by Captains like Teye Djabaku of Klekpa, Otu Adsena of Dorsi, the Priest of Langwor, captain Borle of Asutsuare among many others. These brave captains were mistakenly referred to as kings by most of the colonial writers (especially Reverend Christian Karl Reindorf), who in his book, “History of The Gold Coast and Ashanti”, referred to these captains as Kings.
Mr. C.H. Harper based his entire biased and prejudiced ruling which he gave in favor of Tetteh Animle, on this book written by Reverend Christian Carl Reindorf which was full of misconceptions, un-reliable data and in-consistent information. This is how Tetteh Animle got the opportunity to be recognized by the Colonial Government as Mantse of Osudoku. He did not have any native lineage to the rulers and land owners of Osudoku. He was never installed as Mantse of Osudoku.
Tetteh Animle who had now gained recognition, realized he cannot rule without title to the land on which he claims to be Mantse. Tetteh Animle sued the Gberse People for the entire Osudoku land including Akuse to be attached to his stool as stool lands. After failing to claim our lands, he finally died on 24th day of December, 1920. His Son also named Tetteh Animle, quickly assumed for himself the position of acting Mantse Tetteh Animle II and appealed against the decision of the court which he lost.
After failing woefully, to take our lands as his stool land in his appeal, Tetteh Animle II was left with only one choice, to seek settlement or leave Osudoku.
In the year 1928, after several attempts by Tetteh Animle to claim the Osudoku lands as stool lands had failed, Animle became bankrupt and riddled with several judgement costs which he could not pay. At the time one Theophilus Kwabla Otibo represented the Gbese people in court against Tetteh Animle. T.K.Otibo put in a claim for the cost awarded in favor of the Gbese people and the Divisional court in Accra ordered for the auctioning of his headquarters to settle the cost awarded against him in favor of the Gberse People. The Yongwasi land which included this very town, was auctioned and purchased by Theophilus Kwabla Otibo on behalf of the Gbese People.
T K. Otibo was betrayed by his own people when he was installed as Paramount Mankralo and was latter shunned and his Cousin installed in his place. he decided to evict all the people from the land which he purchased in public auction. A decision was taken by the Gbese Elders to settle the Dispute between themselves and Tetteh Animle who assumed for himself the title of acting Mantse of Osudoku. This was what culminated the 1928 settlement of Osudoku in which Animle finally managed to get himself recognized as Mantse of Osudoku.
At the time, there was no other authority greater than that of the Ablao High priest. Therefore, Animle claiming the head chief title for himself did not really cross their minds that in time, the position that Animle was claiming for himself will cause a very serious interference in the Cultural, tribal and political organization of Osudoku.
In the year 1892, the Nadu worship was banned and the Gbese people decided to install a Chief to sit on the Ancient Nadu stool of Matey Ika II. They sent a young man by name William Narh Botuaku to be trained in Nigeria and later brought him back and installed him as Mantse William Narh Botuaku III.
We wish to make this point clear that, Nuer, Tu Adsina, Abro, Nate Ge, Otwi Titriku, and Tetteh Animle were never installed as Mantsemei of Osudoku at any point in their life time. In the year 1913, when Tetteh Animle claim to be Mantse of Osudoku and gain recognition by the colonial government, the Gberse people installed William Narh Botuako III on the Nadu Stool. William Narh Ankrah Botuaku was succeeded by his elder brother E.T. Adjidah IV as Mantse of Osudoku and it was for this reason that the enquiry of 1913 by Mr. Harper was setup.
Through a series of misleading statements and events, Mr. C. H. Harper concluded that, Tetteh Animle was Mantse of Osudoku.
This gave rise rioting and numerous petitions from members of the Otibo family and the Ogbe Adebor family who were the true Aboriginal rulers of Osudoku. A serious injustice which was done to the true Aboriginals of Osudoku which has caused a serious interference in the history, culture, social and political organization of the people of Osudoku till date.
Evidence of these events can be found in the native affairs documents left by the white colonialist who were then in charge of Osudoku. some of which are;
1. ADM 11 /1 642 (Akwesi Chai VRS. Tetteh Animle II)
2.ADM 29/1/21,
3. ADM 11/1/1681(The Harper Report of 1913),
4.ADM 29/1/21(1928 settlement of Osudoku),
Also refer to the Margaret Field report of 1939 and the famous Jackson Report on the Osudokus.
During the 1928 settlement, the Priest of Ablao Shrine and his elders allowed Tetteh Animle to take the position of Mantse because he served his purpose in the Ablao Shrine. As a matter of fact, he did serve the Priest of Ablao Shrine with a lot of respect while he sat on his war stool and called himself Mantse.
In the year 1938, the Colonial Government realized the mistake by Mr. C.H. Harper and tasked Mis Field a Government Sociologist to revisit Osudoku and determine our true constitution and tribal organization. Miss Field was fully convinced that, Mr. Harper failed totally in his work as a commissioner tasked with finding the Constitution and Tribal organization of the Osudokus. This is a direct quote from her report published in August, 1939. “it was Amankwa Otibo who caused the trouble culminating in the 1914 enquiry. this was an enquiry by Mr. C.H. Harper into the pretensions of Amankwa Otibo who was claiming seniority over Mantse Animle. Otibo was a greedy, arrogant literate, deservedly unpopular so the witnesses said little to help his claim or to help Mr. Harper who had been in Ashanti and had Ashanti ideas about Chiefs and Stools to understand the situation. And there was far more justice in Otibo’s claim than Mr. Harper Concluded. Mr. Harper however found out that, the claim was based on the association of Gberse with the Nadu “Fetish” but was ignorant of the position occupied by the “Fetish” in Governmental organization.” In her conclusion, she said, “I do not wish to suggest that, Government should cease to recognize Mantse Animle as Paramount Chief, but merely that, they should recognize and assist him to recognize that, he is the representative of a governing body of elders and not a Monarch. So long as the Chief recognizes that, he is only a go between; linking a body of Traditional rulers to the Government, it does not really matter whom the Government recognizes.” … Government Sociologist Report 1939 by Dr. M.J. Field page 10 and the foot notes on page 11.
Ever since the Gberse People allowed Tetteh Animle to Assume the Position of Mantse in Osudoku, the Animle family have persistently troubled us with series of unjust and unprovoked attempts to claim our lands as stool lands thereby resulting in several law suits among ourselves. Development has declined, rule of law has failed, and our values, customs and tradition has been trampled upon severally.
During the time of Nene Klagbordjor Animle V, several acts of insubordination was meted out by him towards the Ablao High Priest and the entire Gberse people. He tried to barn our customs, prosecute the High Priest, among other things.
The current Mantse Nene Animle VI has raised that bar to an un-measurable height and the following are among the several acts meted out by Nene Animle VI while the entire Dorsi family looked on till date.
1. Nene Kwesi Animle VI himself stated in a letter to the Ablao High Priest of Osudoku that he holds no subservient position to the Ablao high Priest and that, his authority as Paramount Chief is final and subject to no supervision by the Ablao High Priest of Osudoku.
2. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has broken his oath of allegiance to the Ablao High Priest by openly rebelling against him in Public and also taking a decision to alter our antient tradition without prior permission from the Ablao High Priest and his Gbese Elders.
3. Nene Kwesi Animle VI invited a group of musical concert youngsters to the capital town of Osudoku on Valentine’s Day 14th February, 2019 to disrupt the barn on drumming and dancing which was in effect from the 8th of February 2019, to 3rd May 2019, which led to clashes and resulted in several injuries.
4. Nene Kwesi Animle VI on several occasions during the past years, have repeated broken our custom concerning our Ancestral home (Osuyom) on yearly basis by organizing the youth to break our custom of entering the Osuyom and committing acts of sacrilege without prior permission from the Ablao High Priest.
5. Ever since his assumption of the Paramount Stool, Nene Kwesi Animle (VI) has deeply involved himself in the fictitious registration of lands belonging to other Osudoku families in the name of Dorsi Animle family of Tokpo and encouraging others to do same.
6. He has dragged our illiterate elders into sinning fictitious documents which gives him powers to sell our lands indiscriminately.
7. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has sowed discords and serious chieftaincy disputes in almost all the clans of Osudoku by going against article 3 of the 1928 settlement which states that; each division should be allowed to elect their own divisional or sub divisional Chiefs without any outside interference and has interfered in the election and installation of the Divisional and sub divisional chiefs of various clans including that of Gbese Tekworsi Clan ( The family of Matey Ika II founder and Paramount ruler of Osudoku).
8. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has broken his sacred oath to the Ablao Hight priest by openly denouncing the Ablao worship in public and also making false allegations against the Ablao High Priest in Public concerning the people’s freedom of association.
9. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has broken the town of Osudoku in more pieces than can be counted. He has coerced non indigenes from Ningo and Mafi into the Osudoku Traditional council and installed them as chiefs with the aim of selling Osudoku family lands located at places like Agotor, Kpatsedor, Dedu Korpe etc.
10. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has installed Chiefs with titles unknown to us and He is using these Chiefs to cause mayhem within our clans, families, and homes.
the Animle family of Dorsi has no Aboriginal lineage to the land of Osudoku, an important requirement to claim the inherent right of headship and Monarchy to rule the people of the land. and it is our view that, until their removal from the Paramount Position and the rightful Monarchs put in place, Osudoku will never see any significant development both socially and culturally but rather our People would keep wallowing in poverty and keep fighting each other in the law courts over land ownership and chieftaincy titles, while other districts develop their infrastructural and socio-economic amenities.
The entire Osudoku township and its people are tired of the Animle self-imposed Monarchy and are calling for the rightful hairs and Monarchs who owns the entire Osudoku lands including Akuse and its environs to take over their inherent rights as rulers and secure the blessings of liberty, prosperity, development and justice for the whole Osudoku.
In light of the above stated reason,
The Ablao High Priest (Nimo Tettey Kwame Ofori) who is the Custodian of our native customs and tradition, together with the underlisted elders and councilors among the entire Gberse People of Osudoku, have decided as follows;
1. The Dorsi Clan shall from the demise of the Current Chief seize to be recognized as the ruling house of Osudoku.
2. The Paramount Queen Mother Position shall be held by the current candidate until further notice.
3. The Dorsi Division shall be broken into its original clans which are Dorsi proper, Manya, Changme, Sewem, and Buam respectively and each shall be made into a Division Represented by a divisional Chief in the Osudoku Traditional Council.
4. The Gberse People shall be the rulers and true Monarchs in Osudoku.
As a Peace-loving People, we are willing to go about this transition in a peaceful and harmonious manner and in accordance with the Laws of the land.
A wise man once said; “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good Men to do nothing”
The time is now! Besu! Besu! Besu!

Mr. Teye Chaie
(Secretary to the Ablao High Priest of Osudoku)
Good afternoon, Nene me, Nana me, Men & Women of the press, Ma bii and the general public.
We are gathered here today, to witness a wonderful moment in the history of Osudoku. Our elders use to say that, “if you don’t know where you came from, you will not know where you are going”.
In view of the fact that, time is not on our side, I will like to go straight to the point without wasting any time at all.
Osudoku as most of us know, was founded by a Nadu Priest named Ogbe Assumeng. Today am here to inform you that, Ogbe Asumeng was not the founder of Osudoku but rather, his eldest Son by name Matey Ika II founded Osudoku.
Prior to Matey Ika II, the Gbese people settled on this very land and called it Osu. They were then led by a Nadu Priest named Ogbe Asumeng Ankrah Botuako. This was wayback somewhere in the 12th century.
Ogbe Asumeng Ankrah Botuako was succeeded by his Son Matey Ika. Matey Ika was also succeeded by his half-brother Ogbey Asumeng. Ogbe Asumeng was succeeded by his Son Ogbey Asumeng II , Ogbey Asumeng II was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo Matey Aflo was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo II Matey Aflo II was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo III Matey Aflo III was succeeded by his Son Ogbey Asumeng III
Ogbe Asumeng III was succeeded by his Son Ogbe Asumeng IV.
During the reign of Ogbey Asumeng IV, the Osu People were conquered by the great Ashanti Army and they were driven away from the land which they occupied. Some of them went to other places like Togo, Benin, and Akwapim. Ogbey Asumeng IV led some of the Gbese People who were mostly his family members, across the Volta to Tetetutu. They first settled at a place called “Takolokonya” (The Togoland Plains) and later moved on and settled at a place called “Huatsi” before finally making their journey to Tetetutu.
Not long after reaching Tete tutu, Ogbey Asumeng IV died and his eldest son inherited his father as Matey Ika II.
Matey Ika II was then ordered by the Nadu Deity to return to their old district. He therefore took his father’s stool which he was occupying, and together with his family, headed back to the old district of his forefathers. They resettled in the “we doku” (old settlement area) and that was how Osu became Osudoku. Matey Ika II therefore became the founder and ruler of Osudoku.
Under the leadership of Matey Ika II, Gbese Kponno Yokworsi Ma, ceased to be Ma (Town) owing to the War that drove the whole Osu people across the Volta River and other places in the time of Ogbe Asumeng IV and now became only a Tribe known and called Gbese Kpono Yokworsi Tribe.
The Gbese Kpono Yokworsi Tribe increased in size and there was the need to divide them into two main groups known and called Gbese Kpono and Gbese Dorm, each of which consisted of three minor clans as follows;
1. Gbese Kponno which consisted of three minor clans according to their order of seniority is as follows;
a. Gberse Kponno Yokworsi or Tekworsi Clan
b. Dakakusi Clan
c. Dongotsonya Clan
2. Gbese Dorm - which consisted of three minor clans which according to their order of seniority is as follows;
a. Nomo Wem Clan
b. Wengwam Clan
c. Langwornya Clan
It was after this division has been made that the Aboriginal natives of Osudoku received their refugees and lived together with them.
The refugees of Osudoku were received in the following order according to the order in which they arrived.
a) La tribe from La-doku
b) Nor tribe from Nukportey in Anglo
c) Tsangme tribe from Fanti Chammah
d) Manya tribe from Tsubru in Krachi District
e) Dorsi tribe from Ashanti
f) Klekpa tribe from Akwamu
g) Buam tribe from Akwapem
h) Sɛwem tribe from Sɛ or Shai
The Nor tribe of refugees were later joined together with the La tribe to form the present-day Lanor Clan of Osudoku. Tsangme, Manya, Buam and Sɛwem tribes were attached to Dorsi tribe as a minor tribe. This was done just to form them up into one group
With all these merging of tribes, the Refugee tribes of Osudoku became three namely; Lanor, Dorsi and Klekpa. The two main Aboriginal families of Gbese Kponno and Gbese Dorm remained unchanged until the late 1920s, when the Tekworsi Clan which was made up of the direct descendants of Matey Ika II (founder of Osudoku), became a division on its own.
At that point, Osudoku became known to have five clans and the head and first clan was Gbese Kpono Yokworsi or Tekworsi, (the family of Matey Ika II), Paramount ruler and High Priest of Nadu Shrine in Osudoku.
Matey Ika II ruled for many years as the longest serving Nadu High Priest and Paramount ruler of the people of Osudoku.
As mentioned earlier on, the Lanor tribe is a combination of two refugee tribes namely; Nor tribe from Nukportey in Anglo and La tribe from La-doku. At a point in time, there was a quarrel over headship of the Lanor tribe of refugees and this divided the tribe and Nuer who claimed for himself the headship position and was rejected, took part of his mother’s people and left the Osudoku town and settled at the Coast of Accra and formed a town known and called Christiansburg.
This was during the time of Matey Ika II – Paramount ruler and Priest of Nadu Shrine.
Matey Ika II was succeeded by his son, Narh Ankrah Botuaku II. it was during the reign of Narh Ankra Botuaku II that another Ashanti Army threatened to attack Osudoku. This was prior to the Katamanso War of 1826.
A meeting was held by the whole town and it was resolved at that meeting that, Narh Ankrah Botuaku should adopt all means necessary to prevent a second defeat at the hands of the Ashanti’s, as it has been the duty of his ancestors long before him to come up with strategies to defend their people against foreign armies.
Narh Ankra Botuaku II together with his counsellors created a war stool and added war magic to the said stool. The Stool was given to Otu Adsena of Dorsi to be taken to war.
Narh Ankrah Botuaku II further took two of his sons namely; Tetteh-Tsu Kpetsu and Narh Ngwuah and presented them to a certain Man by name Narh Kwame at Ningo in exchange for gun powder and cartridges. He got the ammunitions and divided them to all the fighting men in the town and with these new weapons, the Osudokus managed to stand their grounds against the Ashanti army when they eventually attacked.
Tetteh Animle whose father was Otu Adsena took over the War stool at a time when he was a servant in the Nadu Shrine and after the Volo Doffor War of 1874 to 1880, Tetteh Animle begun representing himself as Mante of Osudoku. And this was what culminated in the1913 enquiry into the Constitution and tribal organization of Osudokus by the then colonial commissioner Mr. C.H Harper.
Prior to the Katamanso War, Osudoku did not have any Mantse and no one referred to himself or assumed for himself, the title of Mantse. The various clans were led by Captains like Teye Djabaku of Klekpa, Otu Adsena of Dorsi, the Priest of Langwor, captain Borle of Asutsuare among many others. These brave captains were mistakenly referred to as kings by most of the colonial writers (especially Reverend Christian Karl Reindorf), who in his book, “History of The Gold Coast and Ashanti”, referred to these captains as Kings.
Mr. C.H. Harper based his entire biased and prejudiced ruling which he gave in favor of Tetteh Animle, on this book written by Reverend Christian Carl Reindorf which was full of misconceptions, un-reliable data and in-consistent information. This is how Tetteh Animle got the opportunity to be recognized by the Colonial Government as Mantse of Osudoku. He did not have any native lineage to the rulers and land owners of Osudoku. He was never installed as Mantse of Osudoku.
Tetteh Animle who had now gained recognition, realized he cannot rule without title to the land on which he claims to be Mantse. Tetteh Animle sued the Gberse People for the entire Osudoku land including Akuse to be attached to his stool as stool lands. After failing to claim our lands, he finally died on 24th day of December, 1920. His Son also named Tetteh Animle, quickly assumed for himself the position of acting Mantse Tetteh Animle II and appealed against the decision of the court which he lost.
After failing woefully, to take our lands as his stool land in his appeal, Tetteh Animle II was left with only one choice, to seek settlement or leave Osudoku.
In the year 1928, after several attempts by Tetteh Animle to claim the Osudoku lands as stool lands had failed, Animle became bankrupt and riddled with several judgement costs which he could not pay. At the time one Theophilus Kwabla Otibo represented the Gbese people in court against Tetteh Animle. T.K.Otibo put in a claim for the cost awarded in favor of the Gbese people and the Divisional court in Accra ordered for the auctioning of his headquarters to settle the cost awarded against him in favor of the Gberse People. The Yongwasi land which included this very town, was auctioned and purchased by Theophilus Kwabla Otibo on behalf of the Gbese People.
T K. Otibo was betrayed by his own people when he was installed as Paramount Mankralo and was latter shunned and his Cousin installed in his place. he decided to evict all the people from the land which he purchased in public auction. A decision was taken by the Gbese Elders to settle the Dispute between themselves and Tetteh Animle who assumed for himself the title of acting Mantse of Osudoku. This was what culminated the 1928 settlement of Osudoku in which Animle finally managed to get himself recognized as Mantse of Osudoku.
At the time, there was no other authority greater than that of the Ablao High priest. Therefore, Animle claiming the head chief title for himself did not really cross their minds that in time, the position that Animle was claiming for himself will cause a very serious interference in the Cultural, tribal and political organization of Osudoku.
In the year 1892, the Nadu worship was banned and the Gbese people decided to install a Chief to sit on the Ancient Nadu stool of Matey Ika II. They sent a young man by name William Narh Botuaku to be trained in Nigeria and later brought him back and installed him as Mantse William Narh Botuaku III.
We wish to make this point clear that, Nuer, Tu Adsina, Abro, Nate Ge, Otwi Titriku, and Tetteh Animle were never installed as Mantsemei of Osudoku at any point in their life time. In the year 1913, when Tetteh Animle claim to be Mantse of Osudoku and gain recognition by the colonial government, the Gberse people installed William Narh Botuako III on the Nadu Stool. William Narh Ankrah Botuaku was succeeded by his elder brother E.T. Adjidah IV as Mantse of Osudoku and it was for this reason that the enquiry of 1913 by Mr. Harper was setup.
Through a series of misleading statements and events, Mr. C. H. Harper concluded that, Tetteh Animle was Mantse of Osudoku.
This gave rise rioting and numerous petitions from members of the Otibo family and the Ogbe Adebor family who were the true Aboriginal rulers of Osudoku. A serious injustice which was done to the true Aboriginals of Osudoku which has caused a serious interference in the history, culture, social and political organization of the people of Osudoku till date.
Evidence of these events can be found in the native affairs documents left by the white colonialist who were then in charge of Osudoku. some of which are;
1. ADM 11 /1 642 (Akwesi Chai VRS. Tetteh Animle II)
2.ADM 29/1/21,
3. ADM 11/1/1681(The Harper Report of 1913),
4.ADM 29/1/21(1928 settlement of Osudoku),
Also refer to the Margaret Field report of 1939 and the famous Jackson Report on the Osudokus.
During the 1928 settlement, the Priest of Ablao Shrine and his elders allowed Tetteh Animle to take the position of Mantse because he served his purpose in the Ablao Shrine. As a matter of fact, he did serve the Priest of Ablao Shrine with a lot of respect while he sat on his war stool and called himself Mantse.
In the year 1938, the Colonial Government realized the mistake by Mr. C.H. Harper and tasked Mis Field a Government Sociologist to revisit Osudoku and determine our true constitution and tribal organization. Miss Field was fully convinced that, Mr. Harper failed totally in his work as a commissioner tasked with finding the Constitution and Tribal organization of the Osudokus. This is a direct quote from her report published in August, 1939. “it was Amankwa Otibo who caused the trouble culminating in the 1914 enquiry. this was an enquiry by Mr. C.H. Harper into the pretensions of Amankwa Otibo who was claiming seniority over Mantse Animle. Otibo was a greedy, arrogant literate, deservedly unpopular so the witnesses said little to help his claim or to help Mr. Harper who had been in Ashanti and had Ashanti ideas about Chiefs and Stools to understand the situation. And there was far more justice in Otibo’s claim than Mr. Harper Concluded. Mr. Harper however found out that, the claim was based on the association of Gberse with the Nadu “Fetish” but was ignorant of the position occupied by the “Fetish” in Governmental organization.” In her conclusion, she said, “I do not wish to suggest that, Government should cease to recognize Mantse Animle as Paramount Chief, but merely that, they should recognize and assist him to recognize that, he is the representative of a governing body of elders and not a Monarch. So long as the Chief recognizes that, he is only a go between; linking a body of Traditional rulers to the Government, it does not really matter whom the Government recognizes.” … Government Sociologist Report 1939 by Dr. M.J. Field page 10 and the foot notes on page 11.
Ever since the Gberse People allowed Tetteh Animle to Assume the Position of Mantse in Osudoku, the Animle family have persistently troubled us with series of unjust and unprovoked attempts to claim our lands as stool lands thereby resulting in several law suits among ourselves. Development has declined, rule of law has failed, and our values, customs and tradition has been trampled upon severally.
During the time of Nene Klagbordjor Animle V, several acts of insubordination was meted out by him towards the Ablao High Priest and the entire Gberse people. He tried to barn our customs, prosecute the High Priest, among other things.
The current Mantse Nene Animle VI has raised that bar to an un-measurable height and the following are among the several acts meted out by Nene Animle VI while the entire Dorsi family looked on till date.
1. Nene Kwesi Animle VI himself stated in a letter to the Ablao High Priest of Osudoku that he holds no subservient position to the Ablao high Priest and that, his authority as Paramount Chief is final and subject to no supervision by the Ablao High Priest of Osudoku.
2. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has broken his oath of allegiance to the Ablao High Priest by openly rebelling against him in Public and also taking a decision to alter our antient tradition without prior permission from the Ablao High Priest and his Gbese Elders.
3. Nene Kwesi Animle VI invited a group of musical concert youngsters to the capital town of Osudoku on Valentine’s Day 14th February, 2019 to disrupt the barn on drumming and dancing which was in effect from the 8th of February 2019, to 3rd May 2019, which led to clashes and resulted in several injuries.
4. Nene Kwesi Animle VI on several occasions during the past years, have repeated broken our custom concerning our Ancestral home (Osuyom) on yearly basis by organizing the youth to break our custom of entering the Osuyom and committing acts of sacrilege without prior permission from the Ablao High Priest.
5. Ever since his assumption of the Paramount Stool, Nene Kwesi Animle (VI) has deeply involved himself in the fictitious registration of lands belonging to other Osudoku families in the name of Dorsi Animle family of Tokpo and encouraging others to do same.
6. He has dragged our illiterate elders into sinning fictitious documents which gives him powers to sell our lands indiscriminately.
7. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has sowed discords and serious chieftaincy disputes in almost all the clans of Osudoku by going against article 3 of the 1928 settlement which states that; each division should be allowed to elect their own divisional or sub divisional Chiefs without any outside interference and has interfered in the election and installation of the Divisional and sub divisional chiefs of various clans including that of Gbese Tekworsi Clan ( The family of Matey Ika II founder and Paramount ruler of Osudoku).
8. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has broken his sacred oath to the Ablao Hight priest by openly denouncing the Ablao worship in public and also making false allegations against the Ablao High Priest in Public concerning the people’s freedom of association.
9. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has broken the town of Osudoku in more pieces than can be counted. He has coerced non indigenes from Ningo and Mafi into the Osudoku Traditional council and installed them as chiefs with the aim of selling Osudoku family lands located at places like Agotor, Kpatsedor, Dedu Korpe etc.
10. Nene Kwesi Animle VI has installed Chiefs with titles unknown to us and He is using these Chiefs to cause mayhem within our clans, families, and homes.
the Animle family of Dorsi has no Aboriginal lineage to the land of Osudoku, an important requirement to claim the inherent right of headship and Monarchy to rule the people of the land. and it is our view that, until their removal from the Paramount Position and the rightful Monarchs put in place, Osudoku will never see any significant development both socially and culturally but rather our People would keep wallowing in poverty and keep fighting each other in the law courts over land ownership and chieftaincy titles, while other districts develop their infrastructural and socio-economic amenities.
The entire Osudoku township and its people are tired of the Animle self-imposed Monarchy and are calling for the rightful hairs and Monarchs who owns the entire Osudoku lands including Akuse and its environs to take over their inherent rights as rulers and secure the blessings of liberty, prosperity, development and justice for the whole Osudoku.
In light of the above stated reason,
The Ablao High Priest (Nimo Tettey Kwame Ofori) who is the Custodian of our native customs and tradition, together with the underlisted elders and councilors among the entire Gberse People of Osudoku, have decided as follows;
1. The Dorsi Clan shall from the demise of the Current Chief seize to be recognized as the ruling house of Osudoku.
2. The Paramount Queen Mother Position shall be held by the current candidate until further notice.
3. The Dorsi Division shall be broken into its original clans which are Dorsi proper, Manya, Changme, Sewem, and Buam respectively and each shall be made into a Division Represented by a divisional Chief in the Osudoku Traditional Council.
4. The Gberse People shall be the rulers and true Monarchs in Osudoku.
As a Peace-loving People, we are willing to go about this transition in a peaceful and harmonious manner and in accordance with the Laws of the land.
A wise man once said; “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good Men to do nothing”
The time is now! Besu! Besu! Besu!

PRESS CONFERENCE BY THE GBESE PEOPLE OF OSUDOKU UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE THE ABLAO HIGH PRIEST OF OSUDOKU ON SATURDAY 23RD MARCH, 2024 AT OSUWEM. Below is the statement read at the Press Conference by Mr. Teye Chaie, the secretary to the Ablao High Priest of Osudoku. “ Good afternoon, Nene me, Nana me, Men & Women of the press, Ma bii and the general public. We are gathered here today, to witness a wonderful moment in the history of Osudoku. Our elders use to say that, “if you don’t know where you came from, you will not know where you are going”. In view of the fact that, time is not on our side, I will like to go straight to the point without wasting any time at all. Osudoku as most of us know, was founded by a Nadu Priest named Ogbe Assumeng. Today am here to inform you that, Ogbe Asumeng was not the founder of Osudoku but rather, his eldest Son by name Matey Ika II founded Osudoku. Prior to Matey Ika II, the Gbese people settled on this very land and called it Osu. They were then led by a Nadu Priest named Ogbe Asumeng Ankrah Botuako. This was wayback somewhere in the 12th century. Ogbe Asumeng Ankrah Botuako was succeeded by his Son Matey Ika Matey Ika was also succeeded by his half-brother Ogbey Asumeng. Ogbe Asumeng was succeeded by his Son Ogbey Asumeng II Ogbey Asumeng II was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo Matey Aflo was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo II Matey Aflo II was succeeded by his Son Matey Aflo III Matey Aflo III was succeeded by his Son Ogbey Asumeng III Ogbe Asumeng III was succeeded by his Son Ogbe Asumeng IV. During the reign of Ogbey Asumeng IV, the Osu People were conquered by the great Ashanti Army and they were driven away from the land which they occupied. Some of them went to other places like Togo, Benin, and Akwapim. Ogbey Asumeng IV led some of the Gbese People who were mostly his family members, across the Volta to Tetetutu. They first settled at a place called “Takolokonya” (The Togoland Plains) and later moved

OSUDOKU QUEEN MOTHER PRESENTS A LIST OF PROBLEMS OSUDOKU TRADITIONAL AREA FACES TO FORMER PRESIDENT MAHAMA, ASKS HIM TO HELP WHEN GIVEN THE NODE. Nana Amponsah Dokua III poured out her frustration about how underdeveloped Osudoku Traditional Area is, during the former president’s meeting with the Greater Accra Regional House Of Chiefs held at DODOWA today, 11th March, 2024. “Urgent Message from the People of Osudoku. His Excellency, On behalf of the people of Osudoku, I bring forth a long-awaited message to you, hoping that this is the appropriate time and platform to convey our concerns. 1. Since 1992, the people of Osudoku have steadfastly supported the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and remained a stronghold of the party. However, our circumstances have not improved; there has been no noticeable development in infrastructure within any Osudoku community. 2. Our primary request pertains to roads. All four entrances to the Osudoku are deteriorating and in deplorable condition. 3. The state of our health facilities in Osudoku is dire. I am specifically referring to Osuwem, Agotor, Tokpoe, and beyond, where our facilities are in very poor condition. Osudoku sits very far from Shai/Osudoku even though we share the same district. 4. Additionally, our education sector faces a lot challenges. There is only one Senior High School in Osudoku, and currently, Osudoku Senior High Technical School lacks a school bus, which is commonly found in every High school. Your Excellency, we earnestly implore you to address these pressing issues on behalf of the people of Osudoku when given the node. Our communities are in dire need of development and growth”- Osudoku Paramount QueenMother told Former President John Dramani Mahama Report by ; Moses Smart Agamah Video credit: Woezor Tv

UPDATE ON ASUTSUARE WATER ISSUE: COMMUNITY WATER AND SANITATION AGENCY HOLDS A STAKEHOLDER MEETING. Osudoku Community Water And Sanitation Agency has held a stakeholder meeting on water supply to the Asutsuare Community. The Meeting was held on Thursday 25th January 2024 at Osuwem with some Chiefs, Assembly Members, Regional Directors from both Ghana water and Community Water, the media and some concerned water users in attendance. The main purpose of the meeting was to reverse Asutsuare town to Community Water and Sanitation Agency after they got themselves (some sections of the town) connected to Ghana water during the Akosombo Dam spillage in October, 2023 as a result of Community Water not able to supply water due to the fact that their machines got submerged into the spilled water. The aim of the meeting was not achieved, because the representatives of the Asutsuare town argued that they want to remain on Ghana Water for its quality and constant water supply. They also said they want Community Water to continue serving Asutsuare Factory and OSUWEM so as to have adequate water supply to serve the increasing population in Osudoku. Ing. Amidu Musah, Chief Manager of Ghana Water Ltd, Tema Region, told the gathering it is not possible for two water systems to operate in the same area, so their demand cannot be accepted. At the latter part of the meeting, the parties had a consensus that the representatives of Ghana Water Ltd. and Community Water And Sanitation Agency Will forward the demands to their various bosses in the region and bring a feedback to the stakeholders in a later date.

WE WILL BOYCOTT 2024 ELECTIONS IF OUR ROADS ARE NOT FIXED - OSUDOKU QUEEN MOTHER. Nana Amponsah Dokua lll, Paramount Queen for Osudoku Traditional Area who threatened to mobilize citizens of the area to boycott 2024 polls has stated her reasons in a conversation with Rite Fm. The Queen said she made the statement in regards to the neglect of the Shai-Osudoku District in the sharing of the national cake. “Our roads are of major priority to me right now, because we don’t have a single tarred road in Osudoku, yet major companies in Ghana are located here. Most of the youths in the traditional area point fingers to the traditional leaders for not fostering development to the area, meanwhile we have DCE and the MP who have tried their best all these years to make the current and former governments turn their eyes to the District, but to no avail. The Paramountcy has also done enough but still Osudoku is still suffering, so I believe if we boycott the election, they will take us serious.” Nana Amponsah Dokua lll on Ritefm Ghana For interview request or advert, please call 📞 Osudoku Tv on 0244496447

ASUTSUARE WATER PROBLEM: ASSEMBLYMAN TELLS COMMUNITY WHY THEY WERE CUT-OFF BY THE “COMMUNITY WATER AND SANITATION AGENCY” FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS Hon. Jonathan Kene Kwabla, the Assemblyman for Asutsuare took time to narrate to his electorates the situation that led to the decision of the “Community Water And Sanitation Agency” to disconnect the pipelines that supply water to the Asutsuare community. According to the Honorable, the town was connected to the pipelines of Ghana water (Kpong Water) since the days of their forefathers until Community Water came two years ago to merge their lines with that of the kpong ones and took charge as the sole supplier of portable drinking water in the community, which members of the community did not consent to. Hon. Jonathan also told the community that, the Agency’s machines got submerged during the Akosombo Dam spillage in October, 2023 which crippled them from treating and distributing water to the community. The Assemblyman said the aforementioned problem forced the community to get themselves connected back to the kpong lines since the community was suffering from various water diseases as a result of drinking from contaminated sources of water (the river and irrigation canal) and the Community Water and Sanitation Agency had no alternative means of providing the community with clean water. “The decision the community took during the crisis did not go well with the Agency, so they have refused to serve us after the spillage came down. As I speak, a lot of homes in Asutsuare are not having water, because the kpong lines are only serving few homes. I have had a meeting with Ghana water (kpong Water) to come back to resume work in our community, and they have asked that I give them up to Friday 12th January , 2024 to give me a feedback” Hon. Jonathan Kene Kwabla added. For interview request or advert, please call 📞 Osudoku Tv on 0244496447
