Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was given a rousing welcome by a mammoth crowd at the Kumasi Airport upon his return from Brazil.
Whilst on the trip, the overlord of the Asante Kingdom was reported to have been involved in a £350000 money-laundering scandal in the UK, a story which has since been dismissed.
 
Otumfuo, dressed in a spick-and-span suit, was composed as he looked at the huge crowd shouting with joy when the stairway was lowered for him to disembark from the plane.
  
The tarmac was nearly turned into a durbar ground as people from all walks of life, including the Metropolitan Chief Executive of Kumasi, Mr Osei Assibey; the CEO of the Youth Employment Authority, Justin Kodua turned up at the airport to accord the Asantehene a royal welcome.
