The Queen Mother of Adum Banso, a small community in the Mpohor District of the Western Region, Obaahenmaa Yaa Manu I, has reportedly died.

Obaahenmaa Yaa Manu I, who is said to be the youngest queen mother in Ghana, was installed in July 2022.

The late queen mother is believed to be in her early twenties when she passed on.

Reports on social media indicate that she died during childbirth.

Yaa Manu I is said to be a very vibrant young woman who did not shy away from social media.

Her mother passed on in 2022 and was buried in September 2022.

Obaahenmaa Yaa Manu I was a student at Yaa Asantewaa Girls Senior High School, but due to her chieftaincy, she had to discontinue her studies in order to take on that prestigious position in her family.
