Apologise to Otumfuo before we release office keys- Kumasi Youth to Daily Guide

The Kumasi Youth Association has instructed management of Daily Guide Newspaper to visit the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi to beg the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II before their office keys will be released.

Some aggrieved members this morning stormed and ransacked Daily Guide office in Kumasi after publishing a story indicating that the Asantehene is engaged in money laundering in the UK and that his diplomatic passport has expired.

This came up after a staff of the International Bak Mark Arthur was sacked for depositing some monies belonging to Otumfuo in the bank without going through the right procedure.

But speaking with Lantam Papanko on Ultimate Breakfast Show, the Organiser of the group Felix Ibrahim indicated that the office will remain locked until an unqualified apology is rendered to the Otumfuo and Asanteman as a whole.

According to him, the Newspaper has disrespected the Asantehene adding that staff of Daily Guide would have been thrown out of the ‘forest’ if it were to be in the olden days.

He said the leadership of the party did not sanction the lock up condemning the action by the group.

He indicated that he ensure that the police fish out the members of the group who engaged in that act.

The group after locking the office wrote their names on the wall. Staff of other companies who work in the building located at Fanti New Town in Kumasi were stranded.

Background:

Mr. Arthur was dismissed after the traditional ruler of the Kingdom of Ashanti, summoned him to his multimillion-pound residence in Henley-on-Thames and handed him a bag containing almost £200,000 in sterling as well as $200,000 in US currency for saving at the bank.

The aggrieved banker, from New Barnet, Hertfordshire, a dual citizen of the UK and Ghana, drove to his own home with the cash and then took it in an Uber taxi to the bank’s City offices for deposit in the king’s account, he told an employment tribunal.

Mr Arthur after he was said in a statement said.“Mr Arthur has consistently confirmed in evidence that at no time did he suspect that the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, did anything wrong’.
