The High Court in Koforidua has granted an injunction restraining the planned celebration of Awukudae at Akropong Akuapem and prohibiting all related activities scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, or any other date in May.

The order follows an application filed by the Inspector General of Police under Section 1(6) of the Public Order Act at the Eastern Regional High Court.

In its ruling, the court restrained the Queen Mother of the Akuapem Traditional Area, Nana Afua Nketia Obuo II, along with the Asonahene, Nana Kwasi Omenako, the Twafohene, Nana Okromansa Amoah, the Nkotiah Abusuapanin, Odehye Edmund Ohene Asa Agyekum, and any persons acting through them from organising or participating in the Awukudae celebrations.

The injunction also bars the respondents and their representatives from holding any related event at Akropong Akuapem or elsewhere.

The order, issued on May 19, 2026, was granted after the court reviewed an affidavit submitted by Inspector Nuhu Mumuni of the Eastern Regional Police Command in Koforidua.

The court stated that the respondents are prohibited from proceeding with any Awukudae celebration or related activity within the specified period and jurisdiction.

The ruling forms part of efforts by security agencies to maintain public order and prevent potential disturbances linked to the planned event.
