The late Oheneba Kwadwo Afoduor<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE LATE Otumfuo\u2019s
\nAsamponghene, Oheneba Kwadwo Afoduor, has been buried according to Ashanti
\ncustoms and traditions.<\/p>\n

He was buried at the Royal
\nMausoleum at Achiase, his hometown, during a private service on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Prior to the burial, he lay in
\nstate for two days for mourners to pay their last respects to him starting from
\nSunday.<\/p>\n

Scores of mourners trooped to the
\nAsamponghene\u2019s palace at Krofrom in Kumasi to pay their last respects to the late
\nchief. They included traditional leaders in Asanteman, the clergy, businessmen,
\nfamily members, friends and people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n

Some of the mourners, especially
\npeople that were very close to the deceased chief, openly shed tears for him.<\/p>\n

On the night of the second day (Monday), his body was conveyed to Achiase for a private
\nburial service.<\/p>\n

The Asamponghene was allegedly
\nmurdered by some people, who dumped his body in a car at Ebuom on the outskirts
\nof Ejura few months ago.<\/p>\n

After investigations, the police
\nbecame convinced that his friend, Sadat Mohammed, aka Alhaji, had a hand in the
\nchief\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

With support from Interpol in
\nBurkina Faso, Sadat was nabbed from his hideout in Ouagadougou and he is
\ncurrently standing trial.<\/p>\n
