The Aowin Traditional Council has taken a bold step by performing rituals to banish their Member of Parliament, Oscar Ofori Larbi, from setting foot on any Aowin land.
This decision comes after the Council accused the MP of disrespecting them by spreading alleged false stories against the paramount chief and some divisional chiefs in the Aowin Traditional Area.
The traditional council, led by the Chief of Omanpe, Nana Opong payin III, conducted a ritual involving the slaughter of a sheep and the pouring of libation, calling upon the gods of the Aowin Traditional Area to deal with Larbi if he disobeys the ban.
Larbi has denied these allegations, claiming that he has taken steps to combat illegal mining in the area.
The Council has made it clear that they have no issues with the party or the government, and any government-led development projects should be channeled through the Regional Minister or their yet-to-be-named Municipal Chief Executive (MCE).The Tufuhene of Enchi, Nana Payin II, has accused the Member of Parliament for Aowin, Oscar Ofori Larbi, of abusing his political power to undermine the traditional authority of Nananom.
