Three individuals have reportedly been apprehended for allegedly violating a ban on the sale of kebab imposed by the Paramount Chief of the Damongo Traditional Area, Damongowura Boresah Kelly Seidu I.

The chief’s directive, which remains in effect until further notice, prohibits the sale of kebab and mandates that all animal slaughtering occur at the West Gonja Municipal Assembly’s designated abattoir, with any slaughter outside this facility considered theft.

The measure announced earlier by the traditional leader aims to address escalating cases of livestock theft in the area, with several animal owners reporting losses of sheep, goats, and cattle, some linked to a suspected theft syndicate.

According to a citinewsroom.com report, the Youth Chief of Damongo, Mbonwura Lukman Salifu Soldier, in an interview on September 20, 2025, confirmed the arrest and revealed that the traditional authority acts on reports of residents flouting the ban.

“Upon hearing the information, Damongowura Boresah Kelly Seidu I sent a delegation through me to confirm the slaughtering of a cow in an individual’s residence in Damongo,” he explained.
