Traditional Authorities Declare War Against Wearing Of Mini  Skirt In Gomoa Ojobi Festival

Traditional Authorities of Gomoa Ojobi in the Gomoa  East District of the Central Region have threatened to punish ladies who will wear short skirts to the Ojobi Ahoobakese  festival which took off Wednesday  and ends with a bar on  Saturday 29th January 2022  

According to the Abusuapanyin of Gomoa Ojobi, Nana Kofi Otabil, the traditional council would not spare any lady who wears a short skirt to the durbar to parade herself to entice men, adding that those who would not adhere to the warning would be subjected to severe flogging.

He gave the warning during a clean-up exercise and installation of two sub-chiefs as part of activities marking the annual festival.

Abusuapanyin of Gomoa Ojobi told Soireenews.com that the chiefs would punish ladies who would wear miniskirts, thus charging ladies with that intention to rescind the decision in order not to court the wrath of the traditional authorities.

He added that the chiefs would not allow the youth to copy negative cultures which are alien to the way of life of the people of the town and Ghanaians in general.

He emphasized the need for the youth to wear decent dresses since their outfit helps to identify their background as well as how they are trained.

He appealed to the people of Gomoa Ojobi to unite to help expedite the development of the area.

The committee chairman of the Gomoa Ojobi festival, Apostle Robert Afeku backed the decision of the traditional authorities, adding that, peace and unity are their main motive to promote development.

He warned the youth to dress decently and avoid excessive intake of alcoholic beverages during the festival.
