In a viral video shared on the X platform on Saturday, some traditional watchmen and women of the Ga State are captured inflicting damage on the wares of a shop owner who seemed to have deified the order.

The watchmen and women from the Ga Traditional Council also ceased the remaining items from the shop and placed them into a nearby vehicle.

The line-up of activities for the burial ceremony of the late Naa Dedei Omaedru III has rendered the Central Business District of Accra and some parts of the Greater Accra Region empty with no soul loitering around.
