Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Alhaji Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has received barrage of SMS with threats of harm over comments he allegedly passed regarding the Ashanti Kingdom.
Mr Baako had said he’ll under no circumstance ever kneel before the revered Overlord of Asanteman, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
According to him, he is not a coward and there’ll be no justification for him to ever kneel before the Asantehene.
Speaking on Kokrokoo with Kwami Sefa Kayi, he praised the progressive vision of the Asante monarch and how they are friends but insisted that when it comes to kneeling down before Otumfuo, he will not.
Abdul Malik Kweku Baako made the comment after some top executives of the New Patriotic Party who trooped to the Manhyia Palace to have a word with the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II last week, had no choice than to kneel and beg after the angry King asked them to leave his Palace.
The NPP executives were led by acting General Secretary, John Boadu – who was in the region to campaign – Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, party Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, and Regional Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organization, Kwabena Senkyire.
The Asantehene was reportedly angry over concerns that some members within the NPP government are attempting to pitch him [Asantehene] against the Ohyehene and Akyems.
Threats to harm Mr Baako
“I will come after you at Peace FM and deal with you. I will seize your bag of documents and burn them.”
The above is just one example of messages Mr Baako received over his remarks.
MyNewsGh.com confirmed this information from Kwaku Baako himself who was speaking to Randy Abbey on Good Morning Ghana. He said some of the threat messages he received came from social media users who abused him based on “ethnocentric pomposity”.
“Out there I have seen mounting attacks and threats on social media. I have seen a lot of attacks. Social media…, Mr Baako said.
“If you are a man come to Kumasi and say those things on Hello FM”, another person baited him with a message.
Mr Baako has said that he spoke positively of the Otumfuo on the set day, except when it came to the kneeling part, he said he begged to differ.
That part, unfortunately, is what the media chose to highlight.

THE ASHANTIES ARE NOT CIVILIZE AT ALL, KUMASI IS TRASH AND STINKS LIKE THEIR KINGDOM, THEIR KING CAN COMMAND THEM TO SLEEP AT 6PM FOR A WEEK BUT HE CANNOT ASK THEM TO CLEAN THAT FILTHY PLACE, ***barred word*** ASHANTIES ....S HOLE PLACE
***barred word*** HOLE COUNTRY - WORSHIP YOUR KING ASHANTIES LOL - WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR YOU, KUMASI IS FILTHY TELL YOUR KING TO CLEAN IT UP
It is really a high time Asantehene started to do something about his image. And to help him do that, we better stop this hypocritical attitude of seeking a blessing from him, a self-centered man, who walks in the shadows of his majestic predecessors. Who by their deeds certainly deserved to be accorded the title King of the Ashantis. The question is where does Otumfuo want to draw his majesty from? From flattering, kneeling before him or from his dishonest loyalists who threaten to kill anyone who doesn't feel comfortable to kneel before him. Oh, come on!
In this 21st century, some people feel cool living Stone Age life!! EVEN Queen Elizabeth who heads the commonwealth does not get the lowest of dregs to kneel before him!!! Your so called king has travelled to buy a house in the Zulu Kingdom!! How many so called kings have even a bee hive in your little part of Ghana??!! Mcheeeeew!! Let us think!!!
Kwaku Baako will never be free because of his old documents and lies. If you do not respect do not go and toy with Ashanti Kingdom.
This is ***barred word*** of the highest order. If you choose to kneel to your chiefs and someone decide not to doesn't amount to this empty threats. You can go to hell with your. This kind of ignorance and emptiness erodes the respect people accord to your chiefs. Respect is commanded but demanded.
This is the work of desperate ndc, they are so desperate that their kriminally rented press are propagating stories which will never win them votes, like publishing the youth of Tumu who have vandalized a police station as invicible forces why not your hawk ? You are damn out of your minds in opposition and your ndc will never come back to power anytime sooN take it from me ,it will take ndc over 40 years by then it has been a thing of the past. Ndc is a kriminal organization hence they've never come out to tell the good people of Ghana what they did in power which benefited the people and what they will do differently but they only say it is not feasible, they can't do it, where are they getting the money, ndc has never thought anything positive about this country always on the negative side the thinking of evils. Ashantis don't love because someone is Ashanti and president, they love democracy, progress and prosperity and anyone with that idiology is the one they go with so ndc thinking you can reduce their votes by negative thinking will never help you. These threats are from Yamoah horse Oponko, Kwaku Boahen the bull face, Brogya Genfi the ***barred word***, Asafu Adjaye the u**g**ly beast, n'anim huhuuuuhu where from that one too that Kojo Bonsu has hired to insult for his ndc running mate candidacy? How can you get market with this funny ug**ly face guy? So do you think these guys can convince Asanteman to vote ndc or to reduce the votes for ndc to win or what? Ndc is not coming anywhere, it will be easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than ndc coming back to power! Kai, the suffering or the pain ndc created on Ghanaians, the insensitivity or the wi*ck*dness, the st**al**ing or the double salary, the contract inflation or the gyeeda, suba, sada, bus branding, the collapse of the NHIS or the cancellation of the teacher and nurses trainee allowances? You people are joking!!! Ndc can threaten, ndc can try to cause disaffection in the Ashanti region by this Manhyia saga it will never work for them. The Ashantis know it is the work of the ndc, so the threat is from the ndc. Every evil thing is possible with the ndc but any good thing elude them because ndc hate good and the truth. Their mission is also impossible. Ndc tell Ghanaians what you did to help them and your vision for the next election for this accusations and trying evil things at all cost will never help you. Mo y3 papa a anka mo'anim ante !
Kweku, stay put. No none can harm you. That will be the beginning and end of Ghana. Go doe not belong to only the Ashanti’s.
