Help restore peace in Bawku – Nana Addo charges Mamprugu Overlord

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appealed to the Overlord of the Mamprugu traditional area, and President of the North East Regional House of Chiefs, Naa Bohagu Mahami Sheriga to help restore lasting peace in Bawku.

Nana Akufo-Addo says the persistent violence and killings in the Bawku traditional area are unacceptable and must end.

“Mahami was very instrumental among the three eminent chiefs in bringing us to have peace in Dagbon and I know he is also going to be instrumental in making sure that we get peace in Bawku”.

Recent tensions in Bawku have led to several persons being wounded, with some losing their lives.

Though calm has been restored in Bawku, various stakeholders are appealing to factions in the conflicts to resort to non-violent ways of resolving their differences.
