He died on July 13, 2005.
The funeral, the first for a Ga Mantse in sixty years will be attended by a cross section of society including the President, J. A. Kufuor, Ministers of State and members of the Diplomatic Corps.
The late Nii Amugi II who was born on June 8, 1940, was enstooled in 1965 and reigned for 39 years.
