Stop presenting yourselves as chiefs, Ga Traditional Council tells Chamba group

The Ga Traditional Council has cautioned members of a group identifying itself as “Chamba” to stop presenting themselves as chiefs within the Ga State, warning that the use of unauthorised traditional titles undermines Ghana’s chieftaincy system. In a statement dated July 20, 2026, the Council expressed concern that members of the group have been introducing themselves to the public as “Chiefs”, a title it says is reserved for traditionally recognised and gazetted authorities.
