The late Amamole Mantse and a former Director of the Ga North Municipal National Commission for Civic Education(NCCE) Nii Tetteh Okpe II was last Saturday laid to rest at a colourful ceremony at Amamole, near Pokuase.

It was attended by high profile government officials, including the Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Mr Moses Anim, and the Ga North Municipal Chief Executive Mr. Simon Sekyim.

The two government officials extolled the virtues of the late chief and described him as a peacemaker who brought development to the Amamole community.

They admonished the Kingmakers to replace him with someone who was not only competent and legitimate, but also a unifier who would promote peace and development in the area.

The Acting Chief of Amamole and Head of the Nii Okpe family, Nii Ashittey Tetteh was instrumental in the successful performance of the funeral.

He said the peaceful and hardworking attributes of the late chief should be emulated by the youth.

Nii Ashittey Tetteh said at the appropriate time, a new and legitimate royal would be enstooled to continue the good works of the late chief.

The late chief who ruled for over two decades died about a year ago.

A large number of NCCE staff, the general public and sympathisers were in attendance to bid him farewell.
