The Koforidua High Court in the Eastern Region has issued an order restraining four traditional leaders from organising or participating in any Awukudae celebration or related event at Akropong Akuapim.

The injunction followed an affidavit filed by Inspector Nuhu Mumuni of the Eastern Regional Police Command in Koforidua on 19th May 2026 in support of the application.

The order was issued by Justice George Krofa Addae of the High Court and sealed by the Chief Registrar, Anthony Atachie, on 19th May 2026.
