The chief linguist to three successive Ashanti Kings (Asantehene) namely Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyeman Prempeh II (1931-1969), Otumfuo Opoku Ware II (1970-1999), and Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, the current Asantehene, Nana Baffour’s death no doubt has left a vacuum in Ghana and ultimately in Asante history that definitely can never be filled.
It was also during the period that Nana Baffour’s loyalty and exemplary service to the Asante Nation prompted the then Asantehene, Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyeman Prempeh II to have Nana Baffour draw the “Mponponsuo Sword.” This act of recognition is a sanctified ceremony reserved for the Paramount Chiefs and the “Aberempongs” of the Asante Nation.
Col. Acheampong asked Nana Baffour the whereabouts of Kofi Sekyere and that whether he was aware as a father that his son had attempted a coup to overthrow the current regime.
