The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has appointed Professor Lydia Nkansah - Dean of Faculty of Law, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to lead the three-member committee to investigate the affairs of Asante Kotoko.

A statement signed by Mr. Kofi Badu Chief of Staff of Manhyia Palace said Mr. Kofi Owusu - Registrar Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs and Mr. Lawrence Bruce Kyei - Private Legal Practitioner would be the other members of the committee.

The statement said the committee has four weeks to submit their report to the palace.
