She noted that many individuals flout the authority of the traditional leadership, and when invited for questioning or correction, they respond defiantly, openly disrespecting Ga customs, a trend she described as worrying and in urgent need of containment.
She called on all traditional leaders to enforce the rules of the Ga land and ensure appropriate punitive measures are applied against those who choose to defy their authority.
The Queenmother made these remarks in relation to a recent incident where youth, acting on orders from the Nae We Traditional Court, attempted to bring Pastor Jedidiah Kore before the court.
According to her, Pastor Kore openly disrespected the traditional court’s authority after the court issued a ruling in a case involving him and a woman identified as Ola Maame.
She emphasised that the Nae We Traditional Court serves as an arbitration body with the authority to adjudicate disputes brought before it.

When the youth approached Pastor Fire Oja at his church auditorium, efforts to secure his compliance led to a scuffle between some church members and the youth.
Naa Okaitsoo Soyoo further clarified that there was no intention to use force; however, in the heat of the moment, exchanges of words escalated, resulting in a few individuals sustaining minor bruises.
