The La Traditional Council (LTC) has announced that this year’s ban on drumming and noise-making will commence on Monday, August 5, 2024, and is expected to be lifted on Friday, August 30, 2024. This annual traditional rite, which precedes the celebration of the Homowo Festival by the chiefs and people of the La Traditional Area, requires silence and tranquillity for more than a month after the ritual planting of the crops. The ban affects any form of noisemaking, including loudspeakers, drums, tambourines, clapping of hands, funeral rites, and roadside evangelism.
