The Nungua Traditional Council has imposed a GHc100,000 heavy fine on one Evangelist Prince Adu Asare, a Radio presenter and owners of No.1 FM for disparaging comments made against the people of Teshie and Nungua.
In addition to the cash, they have also been asked to bring five whites cows, seven each of sheep and goats, 25 whites fowl, 7 knives, and seven full pieces of white, black, and red calico each.
They are also to bring seven boxes each of schnapps, castle bridge, Holland cloth, as well as seven crates of white and red eggs.
They have been given a two-week ultimatum to settle the fine.
This was after the Gborbu Wulomo Shitse, Overlord of the Ga-Dangme state invited the presenter and the producer of the religious show ‘Adom Mmere’ to appear before the traditional leaders to justify their comments.
They are said to have proclaimed that Teshie and Nungua towns are plagued with witchcraft and a deity in the town called ‘Ogbee Sango’ are responsible for curses and misfortunes in the area.
They claimed that it was impossible for any stranger or business to flourish at Nungua, as the founders of the town are witches and wizards.
They also claimed that Nungua is the headquarters of all witches in the area and the Nungua Traditional Area found it damning on the socio-economic development of Nungua and the entire Ga Dangme state.
Evangelist Adu Asare, who appeared with the program’s manager of the station apologized to the large gathering comprising of representatives from various Ga Damgne groups.
The Osu Klottey and Naadu WULOMO NUMO Osikan Kpeneku said the items were to pacify and cleanse all the Ga Dangme clans for disparaging and denigrating the people of the land.
While apologizing profusely for the unfortunate incident, they assured that such an incident will not happen again.
They also say they are willing to use their medium to project and promote activities of the Nungua township.
The program’s manager added that, they are prepared to offer opportunities for two people who want to work with her outfit.

Ooh wow, sounds tough yet if persuasion fails, force must be applied. Ga land must gain her dignity.
I pray it serves as a notation to all who abuse their their rights and infringe on others liberty.
Sorry for him yet the right thing must be done
Sure Ga land must gain it dignity
Wow. That’s was such a heavy fine. But the evangelist should have stood his grounds to defend what he said.
I personally don’t believe what he said was completely different from the truth. I had lived in Nungua for over 16 years before leaving there.
Nothing seams to flourish in that community. Especially child upbringing. But a the exact cause of that, hasn’t been established yet
