Executioners at the funeral grounds of the late Asante Mampong chief, Daasebre Nana Osei Bonsu II, have issued a stern warning to all natives and travellers attending the funeral rites to exercise extreme caution.

Speaking in a video sighted on X (formerly Twitter), one of the royal executioners confirmed that, in accordance with ancient Ashanti customs, the king will be buried with a “head”, a ritual steeped in tradition and symbolism.

When we’re asked to kill, we kill. When coming to Asante Mampong, note that we are not in a good mood because we’re mourning. When coming, be careful. If our overlord says we should behead, we will, and if he says we shouldn’t, we won’t, so tomorrow we have to bury our king with a head
