Gbetsoolo Nii Ashitey Akomfra III made the call on Tuesday during the celebration of this year’s Homowo festival.
The Teshie Mantse and his sub-chiefs clad in all white amid pageantry walked through the town to sprinkle the traditional food ‘kpoikpoi.’
Brief History
The sprinkle of the ‘kpoikpoi’ signifies hooting at hunger which marks the celebration of the Homowo festival after famine and hunger plagued the Gas during their migration from Israel through Nigeria to their present abode in Ghana before they finally got food and fish in abundance that they could not even consume.
