The chiefs and people of Akyem Tafo have announced a ban on noise making, effective June 3 to June 17, 2025.
The directive forms part of preparations for this year’s Ohumkan Festival, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of the reign of the Tafohene, Daasebre Adusei Peasah.
The Ohumkan Festival, celebrated by the people of Tafo, is the first traditional festival to be observed in the Akyem Abuakwa State and marks the green light for the consumption of yam across Okyeman.
Speaking to the media, the Kyidomhene of Akyem Tafo, Nana Adepa Amponsah Yeboah, said this year’s festival promises to be memorable as it honours both tradition and the leadership of Daasebre Adusei Peasah.
According to Nana Adepa Amponsah Yeboah, the Tafohene’s four-decade reign has been marked by impactful leadership across various sectors including education, sanitation, agriculture, and social interventions.
The week-long celebration will showcase the rich culture of the people of Akyem Tafo and Okyeman.
The main durbar, scheduled for June 21, will be preceded by a series of activities including an inter-schools quiz competition, musical jams, a cooking contest, football matches, and a traditional and cultural day.
