The decision follows the demise of the Paramount Chief of the area, Nana Kwasi Bosompra, who passed away in 2024.

In a video that has surfaced on social media, the chiefs explained that the community needed some quiet to mourn the passing of their beloved chief, therefore no public celebration of Valentine's Day will be countenanced.
