The final funeral rites for the late Asantehemaa, Nana Kondau Yiadom III, will be held from Sunday, September 14, to Thursday, September 18, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II confirmed on Thursday.
The announcement was made by the Ashanti King during the one-week observance of the passing of Nana Konadu Yiadom III.
As part of efforts aimed at honoring the late Asantehemaa, the Asantehene has announced a ban on all public gatherings, including funerals, outdoor events, and social activities in Kumasi and its environs during the period.
The directive is to preserve the sanctity of the royal rites, ensure security, and avoid disruptions, as large crowds are expected during the final funeral rites.
The Manhyia Palace has announced an elaborate rite will be observed in line with Asante customs and traditions, which is expected to draw high-profile mourners both within and across the borders of the country.
The Palace urged the public to cooperate fully with the directive and to accord the occasion the dignity and reverence it deserves.
Born in 1927, Nana Konadu Yiadom joined her ancestors on August 7 this year, as was announced by Otumfuo Osei Tutu II during an Asanteman Council meeting at the Manhyia Palace on August 11, 2025. Enditem
