The Ga Mantse and members of the Ga Paramount Stool Djaase Council after the Ga Mashie Homowo celebrations have make a six mile journey from Ga Kinka to a small enclave reserved for the interment of Ga (Chiefs) Mantsemei that died in harness 

This journey occurs every year after the Homowo festivities from Ga Mantse stool house at Usher Fort to Tesano and back to Usher fort. 

The annual ceremony, which is performed after the Ga Mashie Homowo festal date, is in remembrance of those illustrious Ga Kings that died in harness.

Among some notables buried there are the late Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Tawiah II (1944 – 1947 ). 

Ga Paramount Stool Dzasetsemei namely: Nii Teiko Abonua II a.k.a. Dr. C. E. Reindorf, ( 1948 – 1969 ), Nii Kwaku Niri II a.k.a. Paul Tagoe (1980 – 1992 ) and Nii Tetteh Ashong 1V, Ga Paramount Stool Seitse ( 1995 – 2009 ), and other Accredited Heads, Elders and Representatives of the Ga Paramount Stool. 

The Ga Mantse also headed to the Ga Mantse King Tackie Tawiah I’s Mausoleum within the premises of the Accra Brewery Ltd where King Tackie Tawiah 1 (1892-1902)  and his family members have been buried since 1902 to feed them and perform the needed rituals. 

After that, there was procession walk towards the Railway quarters through CMB through UTC ( Central Business District ) to the Makola Market, where the statue of the late Ga Mantse Tackie Tawiah is located amidst firing of musketry and Obonu display.

The display of colourful culture and unity at this year’s Homowo festival continues to be the topic of discussion amongst many.

Many residents of the capital who have followed the celebration for some time are particularly excited about the unity exhibited by the Ga Adagme chiefs led by the Ga Mantse; Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II.

Below are some of the pictures
