Paramount chief sets record straight on Apesokubi Traditional Area

The Paramount Chief of Apesokubi Traditional Area, Okogyeaman Asiedu Koram II, has refuted claims made by descendants of Akposso immigrants from Togo, who assert themselves as the indigenous inhabitants and rightful landowners of the area.

He clarified that historical evidence and official records prove the Akans are the true inhabitants of Apesokubi, acquired through conquest and settlement over 300 years ago.

The chief cited various records, including a 1905 German map and certified documents, to show that Apesokubi and Akposso are separate areas.

He warned against a "treacherous project" to extend the Akposso traditional state into Ghana and called for peace and harmony among the people.
