THE Paramount Chief of the Mamprugu Traditional Area, Naa Bohagu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga, has expressed appreciation to the government for its efforts to find an amicable solution to the protracted Bawku conflict.
The chief also called on the people to support such laudable efforts to ensure sustainable peace in the Bawku Municipality where there had been resurgence of the conflict since December, last year.
In a statement signed by Naa Sheriga, who is also the President of the Northern Region House of Chiefs, he described as heart-warming a recent statement issued by the leadership of the Kusasis calling on the people of Bawku to refrain from any further violence.
“The Mamprugu Kingdom welcomes the statement and hopes that this will bring to bear on our Kusasi sons and daughters a new dawn in which there will be peaceful co-existence among all people in the municipality and its environs,” the statement said.
According to the statement, “the Nayiri and the people of Mamprugu have always stood for peace and will support all efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution of the conflict”.
At a press conference in Bawku last month, the Bawku Naba, Asigri Abugrago Azoka II, called on the people to live together in peace and also cooperate with the security agencies to ensure free movement of persons to farms and other endeavours.
He further urged them not to take the law into their own hands but to report any incident that had the tendency of breaching the existing peace to the security services.
