Tension in Ashongman Kwabenya As Chiefs Vow To Burn Down LGBTQ Office

Chiefs and Queen Mothers of the Kwabenya Traditional Council in the GA East Municipality of the Greater Accra Region have jointly vowed to deal drastically with anyone who would be found engaging in Lesbianism, Gayism, Bisexuality, and Transgender (LGBT)  activities that ought to undermine the cultural heritage of the Ga tribe.

They have consequently, threatened to burn down the house at Ashongman where LGBT groups are said to have had their meeting last Wednesday.

The Public Relations Officer of the Traditional Council who is also the Kwabenya Musuku Manhene, Nii Mensah Dza Nyomo 1 at a press conference addressed by the Traditional Council in Accra, confirmed that the house in question has been hosting LGBTQ meetings. He described the development as unacceptable.

The PRO said an investigation has been launched into the matter to find out the owner of the house, adding that the residence could be burnt should they continue to meet there.

“We won’t sit down for Kwabenya to have a bad name that the LGBT meeting grounds or office is located here in Kwabenya Ashongman. No way!" he warned.

This comes after the Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, Moses Foh-Amoaning called on the government to close down the newly opened LGBT office at Tesano.

According to him, his coalition is made up of the Christian Council and the Catholic Bishops Conference, the Muslim community as well as the traditional rulers, making it a tripartite coalition fighting this LGBT agenda in Ghana which could turn its heat on Akufo-Addo should he fail to listen to their calls.
