Central Region REGSEC restricts celebrations in Denkyira to palace amid security concerns

The Central Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has restricted Akwasidae celebrations in the Denkyira Traditional Area to within palace walls and suspended all chieftaincy installations, citing a volatile security situation.

The directives, therefore, place a temporary freeze on a major aspect of traditional administration in Denkyira, raising questions about the balance between security enforcement and traditional autonomy.

The letter cites a “volatile security situation” and a “critical threat to public peace” as justification.
