Most business activity in Accra has stopped in Accra because of the final funeral rites.

Naa Dedei Ablah was born on April 20, 1934, and became Queen Mother of the Ga state in 1963 at age 29.

Court case threatened funeral

An earlier interim injunction on the ceremony for 10 days was set aside after the judge who granted the injunction on the queen mother’s funeral said the order was an error.

He said the applicants pushing for the injunction did not present the complete picture of the situation.

Seven persons close to the queen mother's family had taken legal action to stop the funeral.

They claimed the Ga Traditional Council had sidelined them in organising the funeral.
