The government says the enskinment of the new Bawku Naba at Nalerigu in the North East region is illegal.
In a press release issued by the Ministry of Information on Wednesday, February 15, the government said the act is a national security violation.
“The Government condemns developments in Nalerigu concerning the purported enskinment of a new Bawku Naba as illegal and a threat to National Security,” excerpt of the statement signed by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said.
The statement continued that “Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II is the Bawku Naba, duly gazetted and a member of the National and Upper East Regional Houses of Chiefs.”
It has, therefore, directed the security agencies to arrest and prosecute any other person who holds himself out as a Bawku Naba.
“Further, any developments that have the potential to undermine the peace of Bawku will also be dealt with swiftly and in accordance with law,” the statement added.
