The Gbi Traditional Area (Hohoe) has announced a ban on some activities ahead of the traditional funeral rites of the late Mamaga Dewotornyo I, Paramount Queen mother of the Area.
The ban, which takes effect from Sunday, July 11 to Thursday, July 29, 2021, will affect funerals, weddings and other special activities within the area.
A letter from the Paramountcy signed by Togbe Worde IV, Acting President of the Gbi Traditional Council, said the ban would enable the authorities to perform some special traditional rites.
He called on everyone to cooperate with the Paramountcy, adding that “we are greatly sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
The Paramountcy on June 1, this year, announced the death of the late Paramount Queen mother, who reigned for five decades.
Mamaga Dewotornyo established and institutionalised the Hohoe Municipal Council of Queen mothers and was the President until her demise.
