Agogo Omanhene Nana Kwame Akuoko-Sarpong’s burial rites scheduled for November 24–26

The burial rites of the late Omanhene of the Agogo Traditional Area, HRH Nana Kwame Akuoko-Sarpong, will be held from November 24 to 26, 2026, at the Agogo Palace in the Asante Akim North Municipality.

His daughter, AJ Akuoko-Sarpong, announced the arrangements in a post on X, formerly Twitter, inviting family, friends and well-wishers to join the Agogo Traditional Council and the bereaved family in honouring the late traditional ruler.

The three-day ceremony will include the laying in state of the late Omanhene on Tuesday, November 24, Wednesday, November 25, and Thursday, November 26.

In the post, AJ Akuoko-Sarpong described her father’s death as a deeply painful loss, reflecting on his role in her life and the void his passing has created.

“A father is a child’s first home, first strength, first example, and losing mine has left a silence in my life that nothing can fill,” she said.

She said the burial rites would provide an opportunity to celebrate her father’s life, achievements and legacy, particularly his contributions to politics, governance and chieftaincy.

Nana Akuoko-Sarpong was described as a statesman, lawyer, former minister of state, traditional ruler and a prominent figure in the Agogo Traditional Area.

The family also expressed gratitude to relatives, friends and well-wishers who had offered prayers, support and messages of condolence in the months following his death.

AJ Akuoko-Sarpong said she had seen the messages, even when the pain of losing her father made it difficult to respond.

She thanked those who had continued to honour his memory and called on the public to join the family in Agogo for the burial rites.

The family urged attendees to celebrate the life of the late Omanhene and pray for his eternal rest.
