The Nifahene of Kasoa Odupong Ofaakor in the Central Region, Nai Atopi Kwashie Abbey VII, has denied claims that Kasoa, Ofaakor Papaase No. 1, Papaase No. 2, and Akweley fall under the jurisdiction of Gomoa Fetteh.
Speaking at a press conference at the Kasoa Odupong Ofaakor Palace, Nai Atopi stressed that these communities are part of Awutu Ofaakor lands and not under the authority of Gomoa Fetteh.
He urged residents to disregard the recent announcement by the Sumankwahene of Gomoa Fetteh, Nana Adama Amoaquandoh, which imposed a ban on drumming and noise-making from November 6 to 28, 2025.
“The people of Kasoa Ofaakor, Papaase, and Akweley are not under the Gomoa Fetteh Stool, so they should feel free to go about their normal activities, including drumming and noise-making,” Nai Atopi stated.
He warned residents not to be intimidated by individuals claiming authority from Gomoa Fetteh, describing such actions as an overreach.
Nai Atopi, who also serves as Chief of Awutu Kwashie Abbey and Boundary Chief of the Awutu Traditional Council, cautioned that anyone attempting to enforce the ban within Kasoa Ofaakor and its environs should be treated as a trespasser.
He further advised churches and residents to report anyone who tries to seize instruments or disrupt activities to the police, describing such individuals as “acting unlawfully and should be treated as thieves.”
