The Akatsi North District Assembly has announced a ban on Easter activities at Ave Dakpa in the Volta Region.
The District Chief Executive (DCE), Simon Ofosu said the decision came after a thorough evaluation of police permits and Easter event details in Ave. Dakpa by the District Security Committee (DISEC).
In the statement issued, specific directives were outlined.
Notably, there is a prohibition on Delademi and any other festivals in Ave Dakpa until further notice.
However, regular Christian celebrations, funeral rites, apprenticeship graduations and traditional customary rites remain permissible.
DISEC warns against transforming these gatherings into festivals or durbars.
Residents of Ave Dakpa are reminded of an impending interim injunction against the Ameshikpe festival and are urged to respect the court’s decision.
The assembly appeals for the cooperation and understanding of all community members during this period.
