The supposed enskinment of a new Bawku Naba in Nalerigu today, February 15, 2023, has been opposed by the government.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the information minister, stated on Wednesday that the enskinment of the new traditional king is illegal and a menace to national security.
Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II is the Bawku Naba, properly gazetted, and a member of the National and Upper East Regional Houses of Chiefs, the government has reaffirmed.
“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.
