As part of activities involving the final funeral rites of the late Asantehemaa, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II, the Asanteman traditional council has indicated to re-impose a curfew in the Kumasi metropolis on the night of Monday, 9th December, next month.

The curfew starts from 10pm and ends at 5am, as the Asantehene and Asantehemaa with other traditional authorities convey the "Abusua Kuruwa" to Breman. 
A ban has also been placed on funeral and noise making.

As part of the arrangements, no one is to be seen on the streets of Kumasi, and as a result of that, no stall, shop or any other business activity is to be held in Kumasi especially the central business district from 6:00am on Monday, 4th December to 7:00am.

This was announced by Otumfuo Akyeamehene, Nana Nsuase Opoku Agyeman III during a press conference at the Manhyia palace to announce the arrangements of the final funeral rites of the late Asantehemaa.

Addressing a section of press men, the Akyeamehene noted that the funeral rites which will commence from 1st December will end on the 11th of December this year.

"The funeral will last for eleven days, from 1st December to 11th December. There are a whole lot of activities within these days of which some are to be held privately, and that, everyone must take note of our orders", Nana Nsuase Opoku Agyeman III said.

The Akyeamhene cautioned that anyone who will defy their orders will have him or herself to blame.

He noted that there will also be a clean up exercise in the Kumasi city, on the 2nd of December, as the day falls on the day for the National sanitation day.

This event is to mark the final funeral rites of the late Asantehemaa. The Doteyie was held on 16th January 2017, to 19th January 2017.

Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II died in November last year at the age of 111.

She was the Asantehemaa for 39 years. She was enstooled in 1977 as the 13th queen mother of the Asante Kingdom after the late Nana Ama Serwaa Nyarko II who reigned from 1945 to 1977.
