Calm has returned to Buipe after some irate youth raided the residence of a newly enskinned Fulani chief in the area, destroying properties and setting his house ablaze.
Reports suggest the chief, however, was able to escape in his vehicle as the rampaging youth chased him with stones, sticks, and other offensive objects.
Nine persons have so far been arrested in connection with the attack.
Speaking to Kwaku Nhyira-Addo on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Tuesday (17 January), the Savanna Regional Minister Saeed Muhazu Jibril said the Regional Security Council (REGSEC) is putting in place measures to resolve the issue before it escalates.
“Calm has been restored, but we are getting information on the various platforms that they want to demonstrate in Damongo,” he said. “This is what we are picking.”
“But we are going to intervene again with the leadership of Gonjaland Youth Association to just resolve this matter once and for all. There is a way they can solve their problem and not disturb the peace and security of the Savanna Region.”
