Daniel Nii Arde Tagoe, the Chief of Staff to the James Town Paramount Chief and Head of the Nii Arde Nkpa family, has called for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between the Kusasis and Mamprusis in the Upper East Region, Bawku.
According to Tagoe, Easter is a time for peace and forgiveness, making it an opportune moment for the feuding factions to agree on peaceful terms to resolve the chieftaincy conflict, which has claimed numerous lives and caused significant destruction. "The conflict happening in Bawku is not helping any of us; rather, it is putting the whole nation into distress.
If urgent attention is not given, it will escalate further.
Day in and day out, lives are being lost, and life is irreplaceable. "So, this is a humble plea to all traditional councils, Christian bodies, and the entire nation-let us put all hands on deck to find a lasting solution to the situation in Bawku. "We cannot say that Muslims are handling their affairs alone, so we need not be mindful.
