The Chief of Gyankobaa in the Atwima Nwabiagya District of Ashanti Region, Nana Obofuo Atwimakwa Boakye-Darkwa ll, has warned his subjects to desist from the practice of invoking curses.
He further warned that, anyone who flouts the order will be slapped with a fine of 10 bags of cement.
The chief issued the warning at a fund raising ceremony to support the construction of an ICT center for the Gyankobaa School.
Nana Boakye-Darkwa ll explained that, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei- Tutu, urged him "to do something" about the unhealthy practice (invoking of curses) when he was being enstooled at Manyhia some months ago.
He added that invocation of “curses” was dangerous to society and that measures be put in place to discourage the evil practice.
Hitherto, residents were fined five bags of cement for flouting the directive, but the chief said the current “10 bags of cement” fine is intended to rapidly discourage the practice.
