“Any institution that will flout the rules and regulations governing this year’s festival would be dealt with. The General Christian Community and traditional authorities must show respect for one another and restrain their followers from making derogatory statements about the beliefs and practices of another's religion,’ he said.

Nii Dodoo Nsaki II added that during the period of the ban, there should not be any form of noise-making at social gatherings.

He entreated the general public to adhere to all traditional rules when the ban takes effect, in the interest of peace, harmony and national security.
