Djertsorkope chief inducted into Osudoku Traditional Council

The Chief of Djertsorkope under the Dorsi Division of the Osudoku Traditional Area in the Shai-Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region, Nene Nartey Djertsor I, has been inducted into the Osudoku Traditional Council at a coronation ceremony held at Osuwem. 

Nene Nartey Djertsor I, 36, is a businessman known in private life as Mustaphar Nartey.

The Osudoku Traditional Area comprises eight paramountcies: Dorsi, Gberse Dorm, Gberse Terkoursi, Gberse Kponor, Lanor, Kasunya, Tsangmer and Klekpa.

In September 2025, Nene Nartey Djertsor was introduced to the Osudoku Traditional Council at Osuwem prior to the coronation.

At the coronation ceremony held last Thursday, he swore the oath of secrecy, judicial oath and membership oath administered by the High Court Judge of Odumase-Krobo, Justice Yaw Poku-Achampong.

The Paramount Chief of the Osudoku Traditional Area, Nene Kweku-Otiti Animle VII, who earlier accepted the chief of Djertsorkope into the Osudoku Traditional Council, advised him to ensure there was always unity to bring about peace in his community.

‘’I want everybody, especially the traditional leaders in the Osudoku Traditional Area, to ensure that there is peace and unity in all the communities.

Peace supersedes everything and where there is peace, there is development.

You have been fully accepted into the traditional council as a full member and you must, therefore, abide by the laws of the traditional council’’, Nene Animle admonished him. 

Nene Animle, a legal practitioner, used the occasion to explain a few issues regarding the country's laws that bind members of the traditional council and urged every member of the Osudoku Traditional Council to ensure they work within the laws of the council.

He assured that he would ensure that at their Traditional Council meetings, they would go through some of the basic laws that would always guide them and would also go a long way to help members of their communities. 

Advise

The Divisional Chief of Tsangmer, Nene Narh Guamatsu IV, who presented Nene Martey Djertsor to the paramount chief, advised him not to listen to people in his community who would advise him to sell lands belonging to the community.

He advised him to consult the elders of his community about whatever he wants to do to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.
