A Tamale High Court presided over by His Lordship Charles Gyamfi has ruled that the Abudu Royals should be allowed to perform the final funeral rites of the late Yaa-Naa Mahamadu IV at the Old Gbewaa palace in Yendi.<\/p>\n
The ruling was in furtherance to a Supreme Court ruling in 1986 that the late Yaa-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV died as a Yaa-Naa of Dagbon for which reason his funeral should be performed in the old Gbewaa palace.<\/p>\n
Counsel for the Abudus, Lawyer Charles Agbanu exclusively in a Citi News interview said the rule of law had triumphed in the Dagbon state.<\/p>\n
He served notice to officially write to the court demanding an immediate activation of the court’s ruling.<\/p>\n
Lawyer Charles Agbanu explained that by the Court’s ruling, the Regent of Dagbon, Kampakuyaa Naa Abdulai Yakubu Andani is to vacate the palace for the funeral of the late Yaa-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV to be performed.<\/p>\n
According to him, the presiding judge, His Lordship Charles Gyamfi awarded Ghc25,000 as damages against the first defendant, the Dagbon Regent, Kampakuyaa Naa Abdulai Andani.<\/p>\n
Some prominent Abudu leaders including Zohigbanglana and the Wayamba Regent at the court premises rejoiced over the court’s ruling.<\/p>\n
