Catholic Bishops condemn 'public nudity' at Karnival Kingdom Festival
The Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference has strongly criticised events at the Karnival Kingdom Festival held from April 22 to 28, 2026, describing scenes of public nudity as unacceptable and a breach of Ghanaian law. The Conference said it had taken note of the public nudity at the Karnival Kingdom Festival (22-28 April 2026), during which participants received police protection, stating "The event was an eyesore, denigrated our values as a nation and breached the laws of our land (cf. Section 278 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29))." The Bishops called for an immediate probe into the incident and the role played by state institutions.
The Conference commended Assin South MP, John Ntim Fordjour, for raising concerns over the matter. The statement said the festival highlights tensions between global cultural influences and Ghana's legal and moral standards. The Bishops questioned the approval processes behind the event and the involvement of law enforcement.
The Conference recommends a thorough, impartial investigation with public findings; a review of permitting processes with clear decency guidelines; an inquiry into why police protection was provided; and a national dialogue on the limits of cultural expression in public spaces. The Conference urges all parties to allow the investigative process to proceed without undue political pressure.
