Many factors have been adduced as the cause of the disaster including city authorities’ negligence on enforcement of building regulations.<\/p>\n

The Ga Traditional Council however is pointing accusing fingers at actress Yvonne Nelson and other celebrities who organised a well patronised vigil dubbed #Dumsormuststop vigil to express their displeasure about the worsening power crisis\u00a0in the country.<\/p>\n

This was after the Ga Traditional Council had warned the celebrities to suspend the vigil<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, because of a ban on drumming and noise making in parts of Accra at the time.<\/p>\n

The celebrities defied their warning after\u00a0they got the green light from the La Traditional Council who said the location of the vigil was rather in their jurisdiction – they had not started observing the ban yet.<\/p>\n

At a press conference held on Thursday,\u00a0President of the Council, Nii Dodoo Tackie said “That and many other forbiden acts” contributed to the disaster.<\/p>\n

Nii Dodoo Tackie also listed a number of national disasters including May 9, which he said occurred because of the failure to respect the ban on drumming and noise making.<\/p>\n

He insisted that supporters of the Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko disrespected the gods by flouting the ban, hence the May 9 disaster which saw hundreds of Ghanaians killed at the Accra Sports stadium.<\/p>\n
