Elders of the Three Ruling Gates of Prampram, in the Greater Accra Region, have accused the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs (GARHC) of being behind the continuous violence and bloodshed in the area.
The Elders of the three Ruling Gates which include Abbey Doku Mansro We, Tetteh Djan Larbi Agbo We and Kwei Opletu We have noted that the current chieftaincy disputes in the area was as a result corrupt leadership at the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs.
In a statement signed by the Seitse of Prampram, Nuumo Osabu Abbey, he said despite the numerous cases against the embattled Paramount Chief of the area, the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs has imposed him on them as Chief of the area.
The Seitse, noted that since the imposition of Nene Tetteh Waka on them, the area has witnessed a number of hired killings of which he (Nene Tetteh Wakah) has been mentioned as the main suspect.
These killings, according to Nuumo Osabu Abbey, were all targeted at people who rose against the rule of Nene Tetteh Waka.
Nuumo Osabu Abbey further stated that the Judicial Committee of the GARHC has remained silenced on issues concerning Prampram Chieftaincy in spite of several petitions against his rule.
According to Nuumo Osabu Abbey, though the plaintiff refused to appear for the hearing on the issues, the Registrar forwarded a CD form signed by the Nungua Mantse who is the chairman of the sitting and was backed by the President of the House, Nene Osudoku.
According to him, it was the same Registrar who served the hearing notice for 28th November but went ahead to verify his CD form for the gazette on 22nd November.
Nuumo Osabu Abbey also disclosed that a Symbol of Authority was supposed to be thrown to the next in line for the kingship by the Family Head of Kley Tsokunya, but the Head of Family was killed on 26th October in a meeting requested by the Prampram Traditional Council.
The Traditional Leader wonders who then threw the symbol of authority for the installation of Nene Tetteh Waka.
He also alleged that the Makralo plays a key role in the installation of a Mantse at Prampram.Nuumo Osabu bemoaned the rather inaction on the part of such government installations as the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Minister for Chieftaincy and Culture and such personalities as the Inspector General of Police, Speaker of Parliament, Vice President of the Republic and the President himself who they have petitioned. He further alledged the rather inaction by authorities is resulting in the serial killings and unrest at Prampram.
Leadership of the three gates has therefore appealed for assistance to end the unrest in Prampram.
