The Upper Dixcove Traditional Council in the Ahanta West municipality of the Western Region on Tuesday performed rituals asking their gods to deal with some New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwarts and the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Kojo Kum.
They alleged the MP insulted the Paramount Chief of the area, Obrempong Hima Dekyi XIV and the chiefs of Ahanta in a WhatsApp chat with his supporters.
Dressed in red and black war apparel, 48 chiefs from 48 communities under the leadership of the Upper Dixcove chief, chanted war songs, holding bottles of Schnapps and white ram in a procession to Obrempong Hima Dekyi XIV’s palace.
“It has come to our notice that some audio that is circulating in the public domain has used unprintable words to describe you our paramount chief and all chiefs on the Ahanta land.
“We deem these audios as disrespectful to our mighty throne, hence we have brought these Schnapps and ram to the gods to deal with the MP and all those who are involved,” the chiefs said.
The chiefs who performed several rituals from morning to midnight on Tuesday said the MP, together with his supporters would all face the wrath of the gods if they make any attempt to step on any land belonging to the Upper Dixcove paramountcy.
They have issued a two-week ultimatum to the governing party in the region to render an unqualified apology or blame themselves for consequences that would follow, should they step on any of the 48 communities in Dixcove.

President John Dramani Mahama will be joining African heads of state, business leaders, investors and innovators shaping Africa’s next chapter, at the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum scheduled to take place from 2nd to 4th October 2026 in the historic city of Alamein on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
The three-day Alamein Africa Forum is established as a permanent African Business Forum to convene biennially in Egypt.
It is to become the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess, bridging the established engines of African growth with the new sectors defining its future.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export – Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union and AUDA-NEPAD, it is expected to bring together more than twenty (20) heads of state and government representatives alongside business leaders, bankers and development institutions.
Ghana’s President, who on 23rd September 2026 declared Ghana is open for business in New York after ringing the ceremonial closing bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market will be leading the Ghanaian delegation, to include the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu – Adjare, to the forum.
Other members of the Ghanaian delegation are the Head and Presidential Advisor for Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, Hon. Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Ghana’s Special Envoy to the Alliance of Sahel States, Colonel Larry Gbevlo – Lartey alongside key Ghanaian private sector players.
Bringing together leaders in politics, business and policy from across the continent, the Alamein Africa Forum will provide a unique opportunity to shape Africa’s growth agenda by aligning policy and investment priorities, mobilising partnerships for implementation and strengthening financing and investment pathways.
The private sector must become an integral part of Agenda 2063, the African Union’s strategic fifty-year masterplan to transform the continent. The private sector is the core economic engine required to turn the African 2063 from an aspirational government roadmap into realized infrastructure, jobs, and value-added trade.
