A Ghanaian gospel music legend Mrs Stella Dugan (Abba Seal) has expressed concern over how some Ghanaian pastors condemn cultural practices.
Speaking at the Ceremony of “Plau kane Festival” 2026 at Somanya in the Yilo Krobo Traditional Area on April 4, she called on Ghanaian pastors to respect the Dipo rites.
She also urged all Krobo queen mothers to consider it as their duty to promote the Dipo rites.
“I am a real Krobo woman. It is my grandmother who brought me to Somanya at a young age for the Dipo rite, but I lost contact to home,” she recalled.
The Plau Divisional Chief, Nene Tetteh Djaba Agbleze lV welcomed Abba Seal back home and commended her for promoting development through investments in the culture of the people in the Krobo area.
Nene Tetteh Djaba Agbleze, IV expressed concern over increasing cases of drug abuse and health risks among the Youth and called for urgent interventions through education and mentorship.
Nene also advised the chiefs and the residents in the area not to allow politics to divide them as that could retard the development of the area.
