Ga Traditional Council opposes extended funeral rites for late Naa Dedei Omaedru III

The Ga Traditional Council has opposed the duration of the proposed funeral rites for the late Ga Manye, Naa Dedei Omaedru III, insisting that any such event should be limited to one day.

In a letter dated November 9, 2026, with reference number G.TC/PR/V.2/80 and addressed to the Interior Minister, the Council said the family was still conducting funeral activities for the late Queen Mother, although her funeral had already been held.

It also stated that the chiefs of the Ga State had, in accordance with tradition and custom, withdrawn their oath from her, arguing that another funeral could not proceed.

“We are opposed to the duration of her burial rites and any such event should be for a DAY,” the Council stated.

The Council said it was serving notice to all security agencies, including the Regional Security Council (REGSEC), to communicate its displeasure over the ongoing arrangements.

It further called for adherence to its resolution, warning that it would “act accordingly” if its position was not respected.

The letter was signed by the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, alongside other traditional leaders and representatives of the Ga Traditional Council.
