The court presided over by Her Ladyship Justice Novisi Afua Aryene awarded the damages for reckless disregard of the interest and rights of the plaintiffs to enjoy peace and quiet in their properties.
These orders were made after the court found that the activities of the two churches (loud singing, clapping and drumming, accompanied by electronic musical instruments and loud prayers during days and nights, especially) from Fridays to Sundays coupled with the littering of the neighbourhood by congregants and the blocking of the entrance of the plaintiffs houses with their cars, amounted to nuisance.

The plaintiffs dragged the churches and the MCE of the area to court over the continuous disturbances in the residential area.
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that amid the social stigma and stereotype against women who opt for or undergo caesarean section, a Ghanaian woman has died after her husband’s pastor allegedly advised against the surgery.
Caesarean section, also known as C-section, or caesarean delivery, is the use of surgery to deliver babies. The surgery is often necessary when a 'normal delivery' would put the baby or mother at risk.
