The Ghana Museums and Monuments Board has rejected claims that the Osu Castle is a security installation.
According to the board in a statement, “On 5th March, 2017, the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, publicly, declared and inaugurated Osu Castle as a Presidential Museum of leadership and Governance. The Osu Castle since, this act, above stated, by the President of the Republic, has and to date remained a museum,” a statement signed by the Acting Executive Director of the Board said.
“The Osu Castle is not a security installation. The Military and security sensitivities associated with it has since been withdrawn. It now has a similar status as the Cape Coast and Elmina Castles. Visitors, tourists and the general public are allowed to visit as and when they please,” the statement added.
