Her Majesty’s direct genealogyOyoko Clan · Our Royal Ancestors
The Suaman Dadieso royal stool belongs to the Oyoko Clan. It originated from Kenyase / Kokofu in the Ashanti Region — a sister to Manhyia and an uncle to Kokofu. Our first leaders were Nana Yentumi, the first Chief of Suaman Dadieso (whose real name was Nana Kwaku Achampong), and his brother Nana Yentekyie. The mother of Nana Yentumi was Atrah — remembered in tradition as a grandmother who descended from the sky without parents.

The Long Journey
The path of the Oyoko royal house — from tradition and the Ashanti heartland to the founding of Suaman Dadieso.
A Distinct History
The Adiyaakrom people were settlers who arrived under the authority of the Nana Yentumi Royal Family — a settlement community, distinct from the Oyoko royal bloodline.
The settlers came under two leaders: Nana Ameah Pele and Nana Adiyaa.
Expelled from their original settlement connected to Biemso in the Asante Region, they crossed the River Bia carrying the sacred Gyantia — the emblem of their spiritual authority.
They approached the Suaman Dadieso Royal Family — descendants of Nana Yentumi — and requested settlement. The Royal Family granted them permission to settle.
The settlement became known as Adiyaakrom, named after Nana Adiyaa.
