The final funeral rite and burial of the late Omanhene of New Juaben Daasebre Oti Boateng and the late Queen mother Nana Yaa Daani has been scheduled to take place between the 13th of May and the 18th of May 2022.
Daasebre Prof. Emeritus Oti Boateng passed on in August 2021 while the Queen-mother died willingly the week of January 2022.
Addressing the media on Monday, March 28, 2022, the Gyaasehene of New Juaben Traditional Area Nana Twumasi Darkwa said, as part of measures put in place to have a befitting burial ceremony “Doti Yie” for the late Omanhene and queen mother, there will be a ban on noise making and other related activities.
He said, from 18th April to 18 May 2022 there will be a ban on drumming, wedding, funeral, and any other activities which are likely to generate noise-making in the New Juaben Traditional area.
He added that from Friday which is the 13th of May up to Monday 18th May, 2022, there will be a ban on all economic activities except food vendors and chemical shops who will be allowed to operate and trade their businesses.
He said anyone who defaults will have his or her goods seized by a task force that will go round to ensure compliance.
“New Juaben Traditional Area wishes to announce that, strict compliance should be given to the directives spelled out by the traditional council to avert further problems with the authorities of the Juaben Traditional Council”. The Gyaasehene said.
He, however, urged that within the said date of the final funeral rite, all sympathizers, loved ones, and the people of New Juaben Traditional Area should be clad in the usual traditional colors used to mourn the deceased.
