The Central Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has restricted all Akwasidae celebrations in the Denkyira Traditional Area to palace premises and suspended all chieftaincy installations amid security concerns.
In a letter dated August 28, 2026, REGSEC directed that all Akwasidae rituals, gatherings and celebrations be held strictly within the palaces in Dunkwa-On-Offin.
The Council has also suspended the installation of sub-chiefs and other traditional leaders by either of the two factions in the area until further notice.
REGSEC warned that anyone who breaches the directive will face arrest and prosecution, while security agencies may shut down activities that violate the order.
Security personnel have been deployed to monitor activities at the palaces.
The Council said representatives of the two factions will be invited to a resolution meeting to address the dispute and prevent further escalation of tensions in the traditional area.
