HOW MANY TIMES DOES AN ASANTEHENE WEAR THE BULLETPROOF WAR JACKET (Batakarikeseɛ) IN HIS LIFETIME?
Batakari kesee was consecrated by the Prophet Komfo Anokye to Otumfuo Opoku Ware l, because of how the demise of his bosom friend Asantehene Osei Tutu l happened.

Asantehene Opoku Ware was the first Asantehene to wear Batakari kesee.
Many are those that believe that every Asantehene wears the bulletproof war jacket (Batakarikeseɛ) twice in his lifetime . But that is not the case and cannot be the case.

1. An Asantehene wears the Batakarikeseɛ during his enstoolment as Asantehene.
2. During the funeral of his predecessor.
3. During the funeral of an Asantehemaa.
4. Should more than one Asantehemaa die in office during his time as Asantehene,
2. During the funeral of his predecessor.
3. During the funeral of an Asantehemaa.
4. Should more than one Asantehemaa die in office during his time as Asantehene,
5. During war in which he, Asantehene, has to be present at the war front.
6. Some Asantehene, not to mention Opoku Ware l, Osei Kwadwo, and Osei Bonsu, who fought many wars had to wear it a number of times (5 or more times) in their lifetime.

7. Asantehene Kusi Obodum wore Batakarikeseɛ twice in his lifetime; that is during his enstoolment and the funeral of his predecessor.
8. Kwaku Dua ll wore it but just once in his lifetime.
8. Kwaku Dua ll wore it but just once in his lifetime.
This is because he died in office only 40 days after his enstoolment (Adaduananhene). He did not stay that long in office to wear Batakarikeseɛ to celebrate the funeral of his predecessor and an Asantehemaa or go to war.
In the light of the foregoing therefore, there's no limit to the number of times an Asantehene has to wear Batakarikeseɛ in his lifetime.
However, let me state this clearly that there have been an ongoing false information and lies that the Batakari kesee

.....worn by the Asantehene was given to Asantehene Osei Tutu l by one Naa Gariba of Dagbon. This is not true, not factual and erroneous. Asantes never discovered the North (Dagbon) during the reign of Osei Tutu l, we never knew each other as two separate kingdoms.
The Asante Kingdom strike an open relationship with the Northerners during the reign of Asantehene Osei Kwadwo Okoawia who was even the 4th Asantehene. Meaning during the reign of the first 3 Asante Kings, we never knew the North neither did we discovered them too.
