@dodowatv: Shai Youth Oppose Proposed Royal Visit to Dodowa; Police Call for Calm Amid Rising Tensions The youth of the Shai Traditional Area have called for the immediate cancellation of a proposed royal visit by the Paramount Chief of Akwapim to Dodowa, citing concerns over an ongoing traditional dispute involving Lower Dodowa. At a press conference held on 5th August 2026, the youth said they strongly oppose the planned visit, which is expected to take place at the Old Ghana Park. They appealed to the Paramount Chief of Akwapim, Nana Kwasi Akuffo II, to decline the invitation in the interest of peace and stability. The youth also urged the organizers to cancel the event and called on the Minister for the Interior, the National Security Council, the Inspector-General of Police, the Greater Accra Regional Security Council, and other relevant state institutions to take proactive steps to prevent any breach of the peace. They, however, appealed to the youth and residents of Shai to remain calm, peaceful, and law-abiding while the matter is handled through the appropriate legal and traditional processes. Responding to the concerns, the Dodowa Police Divisional Commander, ACP. Innocent Kwaku Amemo assured the public that the Police are actively monitoring the situation. He disclosed that, upon reviewing the notification received by the Police, it was found that the organizers had not complied with the required legal provisions governing such a public event. According to the Commander, the organisers have therefore been advised to address the outstanding requirements before any further consideration. The Dodowa Police Divisional Commander, ACP. Innocent Kwaku Amemo further appealed to residents to exercise patience and restraint, stressing that the Police, in collaboration with the Regional Command and other stakeholders, are working to ensure that law, peace, and public order prevail in Dodowa.
