Kusi Obodom

Kusi Obodom was the ruler of the Ashanti Empire from 1750 to 1764.[1] He ruled during the Oyoko Abohyen dynasty. He was the grandnephew of Osei Tutu, who had been king of Ashanti in 1701.[1] Kusi Obodom's mother, Nkaatia Ntim Abamo, was the second Asantehemaa.[2] Kusi Obodom held the title of Asantehene.

Kusi Obodom became Asantehene after debate - and occasional violence - over the Golden Stool.[2]

Obodom was succeeded by his nephew, Osei Kwadwo.[1]
