While on a business trip to Norway, the King of Ghana was robbed of
precious jewels that had been handed down through the Ashanti family for
generations. This occurred at a hotel in Oslo during a business
conference, where the briefcase containing the jewelry was stolen. This
extravagant jewelry that the Ashanti family wears is worn during public
appearances, and is used to represent the power and significance of the
Ashanti family. The jewels that are incorporated into these pieces are
said to have spiritual significance as well. Some of the people of
Ghana are now questioning if their king is going to be dethroned because of this.
