This method however failed because on January 17It is very significant to know that Nana Prempeh and the chiefs did not resist this arrest because of two main reason.

I shall not pay one predwan (8 pounds 2 shillings) to the governor. Barima Akwasi Prempeh was very fair and this was seen as something contrary to what the great Priest had said.

The following States decidedly stayed neutral because the chiefs did not want to fight:Bompata, Kumawu, Atebubu, Gyaman, Nkoranza, and Bekwae. General Antoa Mensa and his men went after them and were supposed to bring the Governor dead or alive. She then went to the Fort and started shouting, Where are they? According to Osei Kwadwo, in the dying days of November 1900, she left Edweso for Kumase to begin a long refugee march by road to Sreso Timpoomu, a small village, about 85 kilometres from Kumase, near the Mponua-Ahafo border. Before they could realise anything the Governor and his people were already gone.Meanwhile the Governor had already abandoned the idea of ever getting hold of the Golden stool because they sometimes had to search at five places at a time and none of the information they had proved reliable. Ceremony to mark the infamous 'Call to Arms' speech by Queen Mother Nana Yaa Asantewaa.
Through out the war the Asantes had not experienced such a mysterious onslaught and ferocity. Yaa Asantewaa is popular and famous for leading the Ashanti rebellion to defend the Golden Stool against British colonial rule. With this experience Nana Yaa Asantewaa decided to avoid direct confrontation because the British soldiers had more superior weapons and it was dangerous to engage them in a direct combat. She addressed the members of the war committee as follows:Brave men of Asante, we are now faced with a serious confrontation by the Governor’s extremely provocative demand for the Golden Stool. Nana Kwasi Kusi’s death brought two contestants to the Stool. An event will be held at Kumasi Fort to mark the Siege of Kumasi in 1900.

Antoa Mensa was in charge of a large contingent consisting of 1.500 men stationed in Kumase city to beat back any attempt by the British to rescue the besieged men and women in the Fort.Another tactic used by Nana Yaa Asantewaa was the war of deception, the Asantes used pieces of plantains (trees)tied to the rope to divert the attention of the British army. Meanwhile, the Governor and most of their soldiers as well as wife and children were still kept as prisoners in the Fort and life became very bad for them.Some of the Asante soldiers even fled their stockades, leaving behind their ammunition and even their colleagues who were wounded.

It will be recalled that one of the main reasons why this Yaa Asantewaa War came about was the Governor’s intention to take the Golden Stool with him to London and although the Asantes were losing the War at this stage, the British could not take the Stool away.As the British terror of attack was intensified, confusion and disorder spread through the Asante lines. She advocated women's liberation and equality Chiefs like Mamponghene, Nsutahene and Agonahene, who were appointed by the British even fought on the side of the British. The British subsequently wasted their ammunition and this compelled the Governor to request for reinforcement and ammunition.
