Residents Of Ga Oyibi Jubilants Over Court Declaration -On Legitimacy Of Their Chief

The people of Oyibi in the Greater Accra Region have jubilated on the recent court ruling over the legitimacy of their chief who have battled in court for more than five years.

Addressing a crowded press conference held in Accra, the Divisional Chief of Oyibi, Nii Boye Okanshan VI, was optimistic that Oyibi would be peaceful during and after the Yam Festival. 

He made it clear that there's nothing like Chieftaincy dispute or land dispute in the community because the real Oyibi people are peace loving and humbly. 

According to him, the Yele yeli (Yam) festival would celebrated this year as they use to do it in the past so everyone should come home for the celebration. 

"The government and police should dig more into the issue concerning the man who wanted to use his child for rituals and the priest should also be called before the law," he hinted.

He called on investors, government and the benevolent bodies to come their aid and create job opportunities in the community for the youth and to also build more schools because Oyibi is a fast developing community.

"The way and manner some people are pointing fingers at Oyibi that the community is violence and high rate of crime is a pathological liar and has no basis," Nii Boye Okanshan VI emphasized.

The community is going to be violence free and during the festive season and also assured maximum security arrangements made by the divisional council.
