A delegation of chiefs from the Northern Regional House of Chiefs led by Tulewura, Rashid Mahama, a representative of the President of the House Yagbon Wura, paid a courtesy call on the Regent of Bimbilla, Yakubu Andani Dasana.<\/p>\n
This was to sympathize with chiefs and people of Nanung following chieftaincy-related clashes in the area that claimed 10 lives.<\/p>\n
The leader of the delegation, Tulewura Rashid Mahama explained the purpose of the visit saying they were there to plead with the chiefs and elders to let peace prevail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019We are here just to say our condolences to the chief of Nanung and his elders so that peace will prevail in this area. Ghana, we have our common law that if there is something happening, we have ways of addressing the issue but if you continue to say we are fighting each other, imaging the north, we have so many curfews in the north. The south is bigger than the north but we can count about six curfews already now in the northern region. \u00a0So chiefs, we are here to sympathize with you and plead with the two presidential chiefs in the north, that is Yagbon Wura and the Nayiri, they are pleading with you to let peace prevail in your area.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Regent of Bimbilla, Nyelinboligu Naa Yakubu Andani Dasana also expressed his disappointment with the regional house of chiefs for their silence on the Bimbilla disturbances saying, since the murder of the late overlord of Bimbilla, the Regional House of Chiefs have not issued a single statement to that effect.<\/p>\n
