A month-long ban on drumming and noise-making has started in the Ga Traditional Area. The restriction began on May 4 and will end on June 4 ahead of the Homowo Festival. Residents, churches, and event centres are required to reduce loud activities. Funeral rites and public celebrations with noise are also temporarily banned. Authorities say the measure is to maintain peace and respect tradition.
Religious groups have been advised to show tolerance during the period. Task forces are expected to enforce the directive across affected areas. The annual practice is a key cultural preparation for the festival.
