Ghana's Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mubarak, and the Defence Minister, Dr Omane Boamah has consulted the King of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on the ongoing chieftaincy dispute in Bawku.

The decision to consult the king is to seek his vast mediation knowledge and also seek his support as the country works at ensuring there is peace in Bawku in the Upper East Region.

The two ministers were in the Ashanti Regional capital today, February 14, 2025, to meet the king.

In a post shared via social media, Dr Omane Boamah said the government is seeking a security and traditional solution to the war which has taken several lives since its inception.
