Juaben is a small town in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipal District, a district in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. History Not only had all the royals of Dwabeng been of the Oyoko clan, but the king of Dwabeng is also the Oyokohene or the family head of all Oyoko clan members of the Akan. Juaben(correctly: Dwabeng) is one of the five principal towns of the Asante nation or the Asante Amantuo Num, that originally came together against the then reigning empire of Denkyira. The 1st Dwabenhene is believed to be from Asumegya Asantemanso and the ancestress of this stool is called Aberewa Ampim. It was Aberewa Ampim who came with her own retinue of advisors and elders from Asumegya Asantemanso. At this time it is said that there is no stool whatsoever attached to the Dwabeng state. Whilst coming she settled at Otikurom Dwabeng Mma a term for all of Dwabeng, she stayed in Dwabeng for about four or five years. She had lots of children -many which migrated- and one son called Aketewa(meaning the youngest) was considered the handsome son of all. As a hunter, he discovered the present area Dwabeng and he meet a certain man in the area by the name Boama Kokoo Se Bota - another hunter-, along with his family. It turned out that the two men are both of the same Oyoko clan and Aketewa was welcomed in Boama's home. After his stay, he went back and informed his mother.

During the battle of Feyiase in 1701 between the newly formed Asante state, it was the Dwabenhene who caught Ntim Gyakari on the battlefield while the Commander-in-Chief of this war was Nana Boahene Anantuo, the Mamponhene. But Ntim Gyakari was captured alive by Dwabenhene Nana Adaakwaa Yiadom. After the battle, he was sent to Kumasi, where
