Prophet Nicholas Osei alias Kumchacha
Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Kumchacha, has called on pastors to comply with the ongoing ban on noisemaking in Accra, imposed by the Ga Traditional Council to prepare for the Homowo festival.
The ban, effective from 12 May to 12 June 2025, prohibits drumming, loudspeakers, clapping in religious settings, and other noisy activities across the Ga State.
In an interview on Okay FM, Kumchacha urged his fellow pastors to respect traditional authorities and adhere to the law to maintain peace.
“The one month will soon be here, and once the one month is over, we will have every right to use our instruments. So I will plead with my colleague pastors to give reverence to our traditional leaders and obey the laws for peace to reign,” he said.
He emphasized that Jesus, whom Christians proclaim, is a symbol of peace hence the need for all Christians to promote peace by obeying rules and regulations.
“If the person you are following is for peace, you have no reason, like other pastors do, to engage in actions that will provoke or promote violence,” he said.
The call by Kumchacha comes amid reports of enforcement actions, with the Ga Traditional Council summoning 15 churches for violating the ban by using loudspeakers and engaging in noisy activities.
