Nightlife enthusiasts in Accra may find the city resembling a ghost town for the time being, as loud music and merry-making have been prohibited until further notice. Within Accra’s traditional Ga jurisdictions, including Labadi, nightlife is currently experiencing this partial hiatus. The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has imposed a ban on drumming and noise-making, significantly impacting the vibrant nightlife and Africa entertainment scene in the city. The ban is part of a traditional observance aimed at promoting peace and respect within the community. As a result, nightlife enthusiasts and partygoers in Accra are advised to plan their nights out accordingly, as the usual lively atmosphere has been temporarily subdued. For now, Accra’s nightlife scene will have to adapt to this period of quiet reflection, respecting the cultural practices of the Ga community. #AccraNightlife #Labadi #AccraMetropolitanAssembly #NoiseBan #DrummingBan #AfricaEntertainment #AccraEvents #GhanaCulture #CityLife #NightlifeHiatus #GhostTownAccra
