Ga Manye’s funeral to proceed as court says injunction order was an error

The final funeral rites of late Ga Manye Naa Dedei Omaedru III will proceed as scheduled as an interim injunction slapped against the ceremony has been set aside.

Justice Patrick Baayeh, the High Court judge who granted the order of interim injunction subsequently said the order was an error.

While setting aside the injunction on Thursday, October 26, following the filing of an affidavit opposing the earlier decision, Justice Baayeh said: “I am of the view that the Order of Interim Injunction granted on 25th October 2023 was made in error

“In fairness to the parties, therefore, the Order of Interim Injunction granted on 25th October 2023 is hereby set aside

Some seven interested parties had gone to court over the funeral insisting that they had been sidelined by the Ga Traditional Council in the organisation of the ceremony.

The final funeral rites of the late Ga Manye were slated from October 15 to 31 2023.

The Ga Traditional Council recently revised its directive on the closure of shops ahead of preparations for the final funeral rites of the late queen, Naa Dedei Omaedru III.
