The Ga Traditional Council on Thursday announced that this year’s ban on drumming and noisemaking would be from May 5 to June 5.
A statement signed by Mr J. K. Tetteh-Kpodjie, Registrar of the Traditional Council, said the ban would be lifted at 1800 hours on June 5.
The ban on drumming and noisemaking is a prelude to the Ga Homowo celebration.
In the recent past, Accra had witnessed clashes between some Christian churches and traditional authorities. While the Christians said they had the right to sing and drum during worship, the traditionalists insisted that the Christian churches obeyed the orders of the custodians of the land.
The Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council has successfully worked out a compromise programme, which saw a marked reduction in clashes last year.
