The Office of the Atukpai Mantse and Gbese Mankralo has condemned the circulation of reports on social media and other communication platforms alleging the death of the Gbese Mantse and Adonten of the Ga State, Nii Ayi Bonte II.
In a statement signed by Tatse Nii Tettey Jijin II, Warlord of Atukpai and Administrator, on behalf of the Atukpai Mantse and Gbese Mankralo, it described the publication as entirely unfounded and without basis.
The traditional authority stated that the circulation of such information was irresponsible and had caused unnecessary anxiety among family members, traditional authorities, subjects, well-wishers and the general public.
The office strongly condemned what it described as a malicious act and urged the public to disregard the reports in their entirety.
It stressed that matters concerning the welfare and status of traditional leaders are communicated through the appropriate customary and official channels and not through unverified social media publications.
The statement further called on persons involved in originating or disseminating the information to cease immediately and refrain from actions capable of disturbing public peace and undermining the dignity of the Gbese Stool and the Ga Traditional institution.
The public was also advised to rely only on official communications issued by the Gbese Dzase regarding matters affecting the Gbese Stool.
