Nii Adotey Odaawulu I, Sempe Muslim Akwashongtse has advised fellow traditional rulers not to interfere in judicial proceedings for the court to achieve its purpose.

The Sempe Muslim Akwashongtse advised at the inauguration of a Circuit Court at Dansoman in the Ablekuma West Municipality of the Greater Accra region.

Police Service, the Attorney General and the Courts, which have been assigned those roles to do their work without any interference.
