The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has assured the Overlord of Gonja, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Jewu Soale I, that government will take every step necessary to restore peace in the Sawla-Bole area, which has in recent weeks been gripped by violent clashes.
Speaking to the media after a closed-door engagement at the Jakpa Palace in Damongo, the minister expressed government's concern about the loss of lives and property, while emphasising the importance of collaboration among traditional leaders, community stakeholders, and security agencies. "We have taken note of all the concerns and we have also assured him that we will do everything humanly possible to ensure that peace will be restored.
But we need his cooperation and the cooperation of all others.
Surely, what talking can solve, dance cannot solve," he stated.
