Nyomakwa and his people filed to Nwoase near Kintampo where they stayed for some time before moving southward to Pepaase where where Nana Kokoroko died.
As they continued with their search for permanent abode for setlement, the Abease people arrived at Dromankesse where their queen, Nana Takyiwaa Nkomprew also died. A section of the group was left at Dromankesse to guard the late queen's tomb. The people later settled at Pepaase, from Pepaase, they settled permanently on the present Abease land following its discovery by Asua Kai, a hunter and a son of Nana Kokoroko. At Abease, they met the Nchumuru peopie who were the aboriginal inhabitants. The Bono Manso people outnumbered their hosts. This made the latter anxious. They felt they might lose ownership of their land and wealth.
