The family of the late overload of Bimbila, Naa Dasana Abdulai Andani, has said it wouldn’t be part of Togbe Sri’s mediation process as scheduled.
According to the family, the president, Nana Akufo-Addo should help get the killers of the late Bimbilla Naa who are walking free in the township arrested and prosecuted to help the mediation process.
“The family cannot be part of the mediation process as scheduled. We appreciate that there is a third party in the mediation but they should observe the due protocol of tradition and consultations should be made properly.
“The mediation process will be incomplete if the funerals of the late chiefs are not performed and substantive chiefs Enskinned,” he said.
The Dasana family said killers of the late Bimbilla Naa should be punished to serve as deterrent to others, so that the next overload can walk freely on the streets.
They also said the overload of Dagbon, Ya Naa Mahama Abukari, the overload of Mamprugu, Nayiri Naa Buhagu Mahami Sheriga and the overload of Yagbon Yagbonwura, Tutumba Borasa should be part of the process in accordance with traditions.
The spokesperson of the Dasana family, Tahidu Osman Kikaa, addressing the press in Bimbilla said, the appointment of the sole mediator by the President amounted to an attempt to completely disrespect the Supreme Court’s judgement in favour of the Dasana family.
He said the Nanung problem cannot be resolved using the Dagbon method.
The late Bimbilla Naa was murdered by some unknown persons on June 19, 2014.
After the killing of the Overload, Bimbila turned a conflict area claiming many lives.
Togbe Sri was later appointed as the sole mediator, through the Minister of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, the National Security Minister and the Volta Region Minister.
Meanwhile, the sole mediator, Togbe Sri, is currently in Tamale, the Northern regional capital to start the process.
