Gad was the seventh son of Jacob while Judah was fourth and according to Togbui Kumassah, Gas and Ewes were both settlers at Ile Ife in Nigeria before they went their separate ways.

“Ga Adangbe, they are the Gad family of Jacob. Jacob had 12 sons, one is Gad. So Ga Adangbe; Gad then we are the Judah’s. The Ewes are from the Judah group"

Togbui Kumassah, before concluding his interview, mentioned that Akans are also descendants from the tribe of Levi.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported earlier that Chief Priest, Wor-Lumor Nuumo Noi Sekanku Kpenuku II, who is of the Osu Nadu/Klottey clan, has revealed that the Ga people had something to do with the Ark of Covenant.

In an interview with Ghanaweb sighted by YEN.com.gh, the renowned chief priest, who is also a historian, mentions that the Ga people actually originated from Israel and were part of the Tribe of Dan, which is biblical.

The people of Dan were allocated in a coastal portion of the settlement after the people of Israel entered the Promised Land after which the tribe later moved northwards.
