King Togbe Ngoryifia Céphas Kosi Bansah, the 66-year-old king of the
Hohoe area of southeastern Ghana, who governs his people via Skype.
According to The Independent, Bansah once moved to Germany to attend
school as a foreign exchange student, but decided not to return to Ghana
after he met and fell in love with a woman named Gabrielle, who is now
his wife.
He became the king of Hohoe in 1987, after the death of his grandfather, who was the reigning king.
Sources says “he was chosen over his elder brother and father because
both are left-handed, an attribute that his people believe is unclean
and indicative of dishonesty.”
Reports state that Bansah runs a garage in Germany, but still finds time
to govern the 200,000 people of Hohoe via Skype and telephone calls,
often staying awake all night to rule and settle tribal disputes.
He recently made headlines after thieves broke into his home in
Ludwigshafen, and stole most of his royal regalia, including his crowns
and golden chains his grandparents once owned. The stolen items were
valued at £15,900.
