The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has announced a ban on drumming and noise-making activities across the various traditional areas in the Ga state, with effect from May 6, 2025, to Thursday, June 6, this year.

The Assembly  urged residents of Accra to conduct their activities within the confines of their premises, with churches, mosques, and pubs specifically singled out for compliance.
