The Kwahu Traditional Council has destooled Daasebre Akuamoah Agyepong II as Kwahumanhene, citing allegations of financial impropriety during his tenure as Chairman of the Agricultural Development Bank board.

Confirming the decision, Kwahumanhemaa Nana Adwoa Gyamfuah II revealed that the former chief's actions, including extortion claims and subsequent resignation from the bank board, caused reputational harm to the council.
