The Nii Kakaban We, the clan responsible for the installation of Chief Fishermen for the Awudung Quarter of the Tema Manhean in the Tema Metropolis, has installed a new person to take over the position.
The decision to install Nii Odonkor II to take over from Nii Odametey II, the former Chief Fisherman, was arrived at by the head of the Nii Kakaban We, Nii Anum Daashi, and elders of the clan.
In a letter dated January 4, 2017, and signed by J.T Amarfio, Secretary to the Clan, Nii Kakaban said: “It would be recalled that on Tuesday 10th June, 2014, the head of Clan and elders of Nii Kakaban We, the custodians of the Stool, destooled Nii Odametey II, then Chief fisherman from Nii Kakaban We, for the Awudung Quarter of Tema Manhean in the Greater Accra Region, for his (Nii Odartey II) continuous show of disloyalty, gross disrespect to same, negative actions, which go against the aspirations of the Clan and the entire members of the Awudung Quarter (Community).
The letter continued: “This was followed by a court action initiated by him (Nii Odartey II) against the head of Clan and five others, who were charged for assault. Some important personalities intervened for the withdrawal of the case for settlement out of court.”
It explained that after the settlement of the case through arbitration, Nii Odarmetey II was advised to render an unqualified apology to the head of Clan the following day, but till date, he has refused to do so.
