There are reports that certain individuals and groups usually pose as the task force and extort monies from individuals and organisations who flout the ban.<\/p>\n
The statement explained that the task force consists of AMA personnel, the Police Service and representatives from the traditional and Christian Councils.<\/p>\n
The statement further encouraged other religious bodies to ensure that their usual form of worship is confined to their premises, with noise levels minimized to the barest limits possible.<\/p>\n
The ban on drumming and noise-making is part of traditional practices towards the celebration of the Homowo festival by the people of the Ga Traditional Council.<\/p>\n
Other religious bodies were cautioned to discontinue the \u201cpositioning of loud speakers outside the premises of churches or mosques.\u201d<\/p>\n
Roadside evangelists are also to cease their evangelism activities during this period.<\/p>\n
