Musician Atom has been elevated to the status of a Gyaasehene of Asuaba Traditional Council in the Akim District of the Upper West Akyem District.
Atom, following his enstoolment, will no longer be identified as the Ebenezer Larbi that he was birthed, but Nana Afum Larbi I.
Nana Larbi swore an oath before Chief of Asuaba, Baffour Offei Attakora, and his kinsmen after which the final chieftaincy rites were performed.
Atom has been recorded by the Council as the youngest chief enstooled for the welfare of the youth.
Speaking after his elevation, the now Gyaasehene cleared perception his stool was bought, explaining he is a son of the soil but only travelled to Accra for greener pastures and to promote his craft.
