Government has condemned developments in Nalerigu today February 15, 2023, in relation to the purported enskinment of a new Bawku Naba.
The enskinment of the new traditional ruler is illegal and a threat to National Security, Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said on Wednesday.
Government reiterated 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.
“The Security agencies have therefore been directed 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,” said the Information Minister.
