As part of their ritual performances ahead of the Awutu Awubia Festival 2025, the Nananom of Awutu Traditional Area in the Central Region has banned drumming and noise-making on Awutuland.
The Awutu Awubia festival is one of Ghana’s most historic festivals, teaching Ghanaians about their beliefs, norms, and history.
Speaking in an interview, the Traditional Priest of Awutu Traditional Area, Otsor Odai Tutu, stated that the validation of this noise-making ban is three weeks from June 3rd to June 26th, 2025, urging all people on Awutuland to follow the protocol or face sanctions.
Other activities prohibited by the Traditional Ruler include spinners playing music in pubs, church activities with instructions, funeral ceremonies, and weddings, among others.
Awutu Bereku, Awutu Bawjiase, Awutu Saakwa, Awutu Adawukwa, Awutu Ntowkruwa Ofadaa, Ofaso, Bontrase, Ahentia, Bosomabena, and other communities will be affected.
Otsor Odai Tutu has thus warned that any perpetrator who is obstinate will be dealt with harshly.
