The ban is to pave way for the celebration of Homowo; the festival of the Ga people.

During this period, churches and other religious bodies are to ensure they make minimal noise. They must ensure the noise is within their confinement during the period.

In a statement, the AMA said: “Roadside evangelists are to cease their activities during this period”.
