Bad news for the people of Elimna(Edina) has it that, this year’s edition of the annual Bakatue Festival has been cancelled for the second time by the King of Elmina, King Nana Kodwo Conduah VI.
This decision was taken into consideration after a deliberation with the traditional council and Brand Elmina and this is due to the massive spread of the deadly Coronavirus pandemic which hit us in the early months of last year, 2020.
This was made known to the general public in a press briefing and speaking on behalf of the King Nana Kodwo Conduah VI, Nana Kodwo Eduakwa V, Chief of Atonkwa and Akwamuhen of Edina Traditional Area.
He however made it known that together with the organisers, Brand Elmina, majority of the events will be done virtually and also all traditional rites that must be done will be observed.
