The Okomfo Anokye Sword is located in Komfo Anokye teaching hospital. According to history, the sword site is where the Golden Stool descended unto the laps of King Osei Tutu I, the founder of Asante Nation
The place was said to be a healing place for millions of people by Okomfo Anokye
One interesting story about the sword is that, since it was planted in 1695, many attempts have been made by many people including Mohammed Ali to uproot it from the ground but to no avail. Surprised right?
Visit the place whenever you find yourself in Kumasi. It’s not a big place, it takes a few minutes to take a tour…
