THE OSOFO REPRESENTING KWAKU ADJEI HAD PETITIONED ONE PASTOR/DOCTOR IN MANHYIA TO SEE MANWEREHENE FOR DOCUMENTS COVERING THE LAND ON WHICH HE CLAIMED HIS BROTHER PUT UP THE BUILDING. BAAFUO INDICATED THAT HE HAD NOT SOLD ANY LAND TO ANYBODY AND COULD NOT ISSUE ANY DOCUMENT LEGALLY AND COULD ONLY DO SAME IF HE HAS PROOF SUPPORTING THE CLAIM. THE CASE HAS BEEN COMPOUNDED BY THE COMPLAINANTS INABILITY TO TRACE THE WHEREABOUT OF MISPAH, LACK OF DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF PURCHASE OF THE LAND FROM AFRANCHO CHIEF/BAAFUO.

TWO MANWERE SUBCHIEFS WERE IN COURT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. THE 1ST POKU A SON OF MANWERE NKONWASUAFUOHENE CAME TO ANNOUNCE THE DEATH OF HIS MOTHER WITH DRINKS. THE 2ND WAS OP ASUMADU POKU THE EX-CHIEF OF AFRANCHO WAS HERE FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT SINCE HE WAS ASKED TO STEP ASIDE TEN YEARS AGO HIS COMPENSATION TO THE TUNE OF 80,000GHC HAS BEEN DENIED HIM AND HE WOULD WANT TO BE PAID AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO OTUMFUO. NANANOM WANTED TO KNOW HOW HE CAME BY THE COMPENSATION FIGURE WHICH HE EXPLAINED THAT THE VALUATION HAD BEEN DONE AT THE TIME AND HE HAD SENT COPIES TO OTUMFUO AND BAAFUO MANWEREHENE. THE LATTER DENIED EVER RECEIVING ANY COPY WHICH THE FORMER CLAIMED WAS GIVEN THROUGH A THIRD PERSON TO BAAFUO. NANANOM IN THEIR CONTRIBUTION WANTED TO KNOW WHAT TRADITIONAL SUPPORT OF ACCOUNTABILITY LIKE THE OKYEAME, OTUMFUO'S KRAKYE, GYAASE MEMBER WAS PARTY TO THE INVENTORY TAKING. OP. ASUMADU POKU MAINTAINED HE DID IT WITH HIS APPOINTED ACCOUNTANTS AND VALUERS. MANWEREHENE EXPLAINED THAT THE MISUNDERSTANDING WOULD HAVE TO BE CLEARED WITH OTUMFUO SINCE AS FAR AS HE WAS CONCERNED THE LATE SAAMANHENE WAS THE ONE TO SEE TO THE HANDING OVER. OP AS. POKU INFORMED THE COURT THAT HE HAS KEPT THE BLACK STOOLS FOR ALL THESE YEARS AND HAS BEEN POURING LIBATION ON THEM! NANANOM EXPLAINED THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE AND HE SHD NOT DO THAT.
