The man (in white shirt) separated two aggrieved individuals during the chaos
A church service in Accra turned chaotic after individuals identifying themselves as a taskforce stormed the premises during worship in the Greater Accra Region.
An individual known as Joojo on X (formerly Twitter) shared a video showing that his congregation was in the middle of worship when the taskforce entered the auditorium and accused them of noise-making.
However, according to Joojo, the congregants were merely clapping during the session without using any musical instruments, making the actions of the taskforce surprising.
In the video, taskforce members can be seen in a heated altercation with some of the church members, which eventually escalated into a brief fight before it was quickly resolved.
The group consisted of both men and women wearing shirts labeled “Taskforce” on the front.
As of now, the identity of the taskforce and the exact reason for their actions remain unclear amid the ongoing confusion.
It will be recalled that the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) recently announced a ban on drumming and noise-making in certain parts of Accra.
The ban is part of preparations for the Homowo Festival, a cultural celebration by the Ga people.
The directive includes restrictions on the use of loudspeakers, drums, tambourines, and other musical instruments, as well as bans on merry-making and funeral rites.
