The High Court in Koforidua has issued an injunction restraining the planned celebration of Awukudae at Akropong Akuapem and banning all related activities scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, or any other date within the month.
The order followed an application filed by the Inspector General of Police under Section 1(6) of the Public Order Act at the Eastern Regional High Court.
In its ruling, the court restrained the Queen Mother of the Akuapem Traditional Area, Nana Afua Nketia Obuo II, together with the Asonahene, Nana Kwasi Omenako, the Twafohene, Nana Okromansa Amoah, the Nkotiah Abusuapanin, Edmund Ohene Asa Agyekum, and any persons acting through them from organising or participating in the celebration.
The injunction further bars the respondents and their representatives from holding any Awukudae-related event at Akropong Akuapem or elsewhere within the stated period.
The court order, issued on May 19, 2026, followed its review of an affidavit filed by Inspector Nuhu Mumuni of the Eastern Regional Police Command in Koforidua.
According to the ruling, the respondents are prohibited from proceeding with any Awukudae celebration or related activity within the specified jurisdiction and timeline.
The injunction forms part of efforts by security agencies to maintain public order and prevent any potential disturbances linked to the planned celebration.
