He is the fourth of seven children born to the late Opanyin Kwame Apea-Nuamah of the Etena clan of Abetifi-Kwahu and the late Obaapanyin Amma Oforiwa of the Kaniwa Ayoko clan also of Abetifi-Kwahu. He was born at Atebubu in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana on the 17th of June 1941. Unlike his siblings who lived their childhood years with his parents, he lived almost all his childhood years with his maternal aunt and uncles, away from his parents.
