The Akatsi North District Assembly in the Volta Region has prohibited Easter festivities in Ave Dakpa.
Nonetheless, the Assembly, through a statement released on Thursday, specified that regular Christian observances, funeral ceremonies, apprenticeship graduations, and traditional customary rituals remain permissible.
“DISEC warns against the modification of these celebrations and gatherings into a festival/durbar,” it added.
Moreover, the Assembly reiterated to the Ave Dakpa Community the imminent interim injunction against the Ameshikpe festival and strongly urged compliance with the court’s ruling.
“We kindly request the cooperation and understanding of all community members during this period. The peace of Ave Dakpa and the entire district is of utmost importance, and we need all of you on board to develop in a peaceful environment.”
“Please ensure to comply with these directives,” it added.
