As part of the preparations for the Homowo festival, which will be celebrated by the Ga people, Accra will be subject to a one-month ban on all drumming and noise-making from May 15 to June 15, 2023.
Any noise-making activity is prohibited, including using loudspeakers, drums, tambourines, burial rituals, and roadside preaching.
The Church of Pentecost, Kaneshie Branch, and Pure Fire Miracle Ministries International, Kisseman, who failed to appear before the Council, were two of the six churches, according to Numoo Nikoi Amasah II, Ga Wulomo in command of the Task Force, who informed the Ghana News Agency that they are still subject to the punishment.
He exhorted people to follow the precedent set by this case and uphold the customs and laws that were in place in the Ga State.
“Anyone who travels to another nation or state should make an effort to abide by and respect that nation or state’s laws and customs to avoid difficulties. We are all members of the same people, so let’s try to uphold the prohibition at all times in order to promote harmony and peace among us all, he remarked.
