Nsein chief fires, Attibrukusu responds
Awulae Attibrukusu III, Paramount Chief of Lower Axim Traditional Area, rejected claims made by the Nsein Paramount Chief, Awulae Agyefi Kwame II, as published in The Chronicle newspaper on Wednesday. Awulae Attibrukusu III dismissed an alleged three-month ultimatum by Awulae Agyefi Kwame II to vacate what was described as his ancestral land, insisting that such a directive "is not only baseless, but also unenforceable." Awulae Attibrukusu III challenged Awulae Agyevi Kwame II to "reduce the three months to two weeks, and I am ever ready to meet you boot for boot."
Awulae Attibrukusu III maintained that the Nsein Stool remains a junior stool to Lower Axim. He described as "surprising and disrespectful" claims that he must seek permission from the Nsein chief to carry out traditional activities within Axim. Awulae Attibrukusu III stressed that no court has awarded any Lower Axim lands to the Nsein Stool, stating that Awulae Agyevi Kwame II "previously initiated legal action against me, which you lost, bringing finality to our land issues." He referenced historical boundary determinations by the Stool Lands Settlement Commission in November 1982, under the supervision of then Deputy Commissioner J.A. Essiem, as evidence of clearly defined territorial limits.
Observers warn that the escalating war of words could heighten unrest if not carefully managed. Awulae Attibrukusu III encouraged the public to seek historical clarity from documented sources, including the book "The Unknown Facts of Axim" by the late Francis Amelema Kaku Nokoe.
