Vice President of IMANI-Africa, Kofi Bentil has strongly criticized what he describes as the unlawful invasion of churches by traditionalists enforcing a ban on noisemaking in Accra, warning that such actions could lead to tragedy if not addressed by authorities.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Kofi Bentil condemned the practice, emphasizing that Ghana operates under the rule of law, not tribal or religious traditions. "We will soon have a tragedy on our hands if the authorities don't stop traditionalists from lawlessly invading churches in the name of enforcing a ban of noise making!!! "We are a nation under law, not tribal religious traditions!" he fumed.
Kofi Bentil recounted a personal experience at his church, where a group of traditionalists attempted to enter the church compound to enforce the ban, despite no noise being made.
According to him, he confronted the group's leader, who claimed he was there to issue a warning.
