Court of Appeal Removes Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II as Ga Mantse

Accra, Ghana — A landmark ruling by the Court of Appeal has officially nullified the authority of Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II as the Ga Mantse, bringing an end to his claim over the Ga royal stool.

The court’s decision follows years of legal disputes surrounding the legitimacy of his installation. In its ruling, the Court of Appeal declared that Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II’s enstoolment did not follow the required customary and legal processes, and therefore, his position as Ga Mantse is invalid.

This decision affects all residents of Accra and members of the Ga State, given the Ga Mantse’s significant cultural, traditional, and community leadership role.

Key Implications:

• The title of Ga Mantse is now officially vacant until a new chief is lawfully installed.
• The ruling is expected to pave the way for a peaceful resolution and re-establishment of traditional leadership in the Ga State.
• Traditional and legal institutions will likely coordinate to ensure the next enstoolment is in line with Ga customs and Ghanaian law.

The Ga Traditional Council and concerned authorities are urged to work together to uphold peace, order, and respect for tradition during this transition.
