The Accra Regional Police Command has assured the public of robust security measures for the upcoming Homowo Festival, a significant cultural event celebrated by the Ga people.
According to Superintendent Juliana Obeng, Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Regional Police Command, a specialized team has been established to ensure seamless coordination and prevent any untoward incidents before, during, and after the festival.
“We are very much aware of the Homowo Festival that has almost started and can assure the general public that there will be adequate security for the celebration,” Superintendent Obeng stated.
She appealed to the local community for their support and cooperation, emphasizing the police’s role in protecting the indigenes throughout the festivities.
“We would want the indigenes to know that we are here to protect them and so we would need their cooperation and support,” Superintendent Obeng added.
The police’s proactive approach aims to preserve the peace and ensure that the cultural heritage is honoured in a safe environment. Residents have been urged to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities during the festival period.
The Homowo Festival attracts large crowds each year, and the police’s assurance of adequate security is expected to provide a sense of comfort and security to the celebrants.
