The Asantehene, who had assigned Bantamahene to search for the missing deity, criticized him for poorly handling the task.
At a meeting held at Manhyia Palace, the Otumfuo questioned the Bantamahene about the whereabouts of the deity.
In a video shared on social media, the Asantehene, wearing a stern expression, asked, "Where is the deity?" The Bantamahene responded, "Your Majesty, when you instructed us to search for it, we sought the help of the police. We conducted a thorough search but were unsuccessful. I did everything possible to locate the deity, but my efforts proved futile. The police can bear me witness."
It remains unclear what will befall the Bantamahene if he fails to find the deity within the stipulated time given by the Asantehene.
