Togbe Afede XIV in a statement has thus encouraged traditional authorities to lead special traditional prayers and rites to purify their communities.
Christians across Ghana today [Wednesday], observed a national day of prayer and fasting to seek divine intervention in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.
