The Coronation, Profile Of The New Osu Mantse, Notse Nii Nortey Owuo IV

On the 22nd of January 2020, history was made in Osu. A new King was enstooled on this day. Thus, for the first time in 14 years, the people of Osu will be led by one man as their King.

This follows the death of Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI in February 2021 and the abdication of Nii Nortey Owuo III a few days ago behind closed doors. History may have it known that Nii Nortey Owuo III was enstooled in December 1984 and served as the King of Osu until the advent of Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI who was enstooled in May 2007.

The final enstoolment proceedings for Notse Nii Nortey Owuo IV, the new Osu manste, was performed at the Ajuwate We this past Saturday and was duly attended by representatives of all four quarters of Osu. The colourful event was engulfed with merrymaking amidst drumming, singing and dancing as indigenes of Osu embraced their King.
