The final funeral rites and burial of the late Omanhene of New Juaben, Daasebre Oti Boateng, and the late queen mother, Nana Yaa Daani II, are currently under way at the Yiadom-Hwedie Palace in Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
Thousands of mourners have thronged the Yiadon-Hewedie Palace to mourn the two members of the New Juaben royal family.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Saturday led a government delegation to the funeral which includes other politicians, as well as diplomats and other dignitaries.
President Akufo-Addo also paid a courtesy call on the Omanhene of Old Juaben, Nana Otuo Siriboe II, who is the brother of the late Daasebre Oti Boateng.
Emeritus Professor Emmanuel Oti Boateng was the paramount chief of New Juaben, a settlement of refugees from war in Asanteman established in the Eastern Region in 1875.
He succeeded his blood brother Nana Kwaku Boateng II as the paramount chief of New Juaben in 1992, taking the stool name Daasebre.
