A significant cultural breach has caused unrest in Sahn Village, Gallinas Chiefdom, after local youths reportedly intruded into a women’s sacred societal bush.
The incident, seen as a disruption to traditional practices, has drawn widespread condemnation and prompted swift intervention from the Paramount Chief, Madam Wokie Jojo Massaquoi.
According to Amie Nehma, the leader of the women’s societal group, the intrusion was allegedly instigated by local stakeholders, with Bockarie Mattia Fowai being a central figure in the conflict.
Amie claims that Fowai’s influence led to a group of youths, identified as Jangaba, Manyeh, and Ahmed, entering the sacred space, harassing women, and disrupting longstanding cultural rituals vital to the community.
The Paramount Chief, Madam Massaquoi, expressed deep concern over the intrusion and acted promptly to address the matter. She condemned the incident as a serious violation of cultural values and emphasized the importance of safeguarding traditional practices.
“This chiefdom belongs to all of us,” Madam Massaquoi stated during a community address. “We must ensure that our traditions are respected and our people live in peace. Violence and disrespect have no place here, and I urge everyone to work together to restore harmony.”
To resolve the situation, the Paramount Chief has initiated dialogue with elders, youth leaders, and societal heads. The aim is to address the underlying causes of the conflict, prevent similar occurrences, and ensure justice for those affected.
The incident has sparked a broader discussion about the importance of respecting women’s rights and cultural traditions. Many community members have called for appropriate measures against the perpetrators to serve as a deterrent and uphold the sanctity of traditional spaces.
As the dialogue progresses, residents of Sahn Village and Gallinas Chiefdom remain hopeful that this incident will lead to stronger unity and greater respect for cultural values. Paramount Chief Massaquoi has pledged to ensure justice while fostering an environment of peace and mutual respect for all.
These are all the rubbish and stupidity that’s pushing this country backwards. I had entered that rubbish bush and nothing came out of it, so I don’t know why these stupid women make it a big deal.
Digital world and people still want to be in the bush
Hypocrites is what I call them. When girls lost their lives to this nonsense they start acting like they are against it. Real hypocrites. How have this things benefit the nation? These are the dark evil practices that is keeping this country from progression. Evil things they call cultural.
I see no reason why secret society practices should be encouraged in this country. It’s just a way of destroying the lives of our future generation.
