The Sefwi Asawinso Traditional Council has threatened landlords who have rented out their apartments to individuals suspected of being LGBTQI+.

The Council has issued a notice to landlords to report suspected tenants engaging in such practices.

Failure to do so, the council said, will warrant serious sanctions.

The chief linguist of the Sefwi Asawinso traditional council, Nana Kyeame Gyesi, who issued the notice, said they will not entertain such evil practices in the area.

He declared that the cultural and traditional values of Ghanaians frown on LGBTQI+ activities, so they will not entertain such people.

He further warned that people caught in such activities would be banished from the community.

He has also warned residents in the Western North region that the necessary traditional rites would be performed to banish anyone caught in the homosexual act; hence, they should be guided.

Nana Kofi Nkrumah advised his people to ensure such evil and alien acts do not prevail in their communities.

“We will perform some rites to cleanse the community. They have brought a sacrilege to our community. This is evil, and we will not entertain it here. We are also sending this caution to landlords in this community. If you have rented out your rooms to people who engage in such acts, let us know, or else if we investigate and find out that ourselves, we will deal with you ruthlessly,” he said.

He issued the warning after two men were arrested in Sefwi Asawinso, Sefwi Wiawso municipality, for allegedly engaging in homosexuality.

The two young men were apprehended by residents who became suspicious after hearing unusual noise from a fashion designer’s room at Sefwi Asawinso.

They are currently in the grips of the Sefwi Asawinso police command for investigation.
The residents claimed that they caught the two young men having sex after breaking into the room of one of them.

“These young men have brought disrepute to the throne and traditional council. We expect them to be taken to court and prosecuted. Following their trial, we, as traditional authorities, will perform some rites to purify the area. I’d want to emphasise this point and caution landlords: do not rent out your rooms to members of the LGBTQI+ community. If you do it and we find out, we will punish you severely.”
