Security personnel in Yendi<\/strong><\/p>\n

The funeral of the late Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani has been postponed indefinitely following violent clashes between Abudus and Andanis over the past three days in Yendi in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

The funeral of the late Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani has been postponed indefinitely following violent clashes between Abudus and Andanis over the past three days in Yendi in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

The funeral commenced in line with the roadmap agreed
\nupon by the two royal gates \u2013 Abudu and Andani. But per the development, the
\nprogramme has been disrupted.<\/p>\n

The roadmap suffered its worst hiccup yesterday when
\nthe Yendi town was turned into a battlefront through the indiscriminate firing
\nof gunshots. <\/p>\n

In the midst of the melee, there were rumours on
\nsocial media about the clashes, with some claiming that two soldiers suffered gunshot
\nwounds. <\/p>\n

The indefinite postponement originated from a meeting
\nof the Northern Regional Security Council (RESEC) to brood over the threat
\nposed by the clashes.<\/p>\n

The number of casualties so far is not known as such
\ninformation has not been announced by the security agencies. <\/p>\n

One of the attacks reportedly took place in a mosque
\nwhen members of one of the royal gates went in to pray, according to eyewitness
\naccounts.<\/p>\n

A forced eviction of the Bolin Lana from one of the
\nhouses used for the enskinment rituals was one of the issues which bedevilled
\nthe process. <\/p>\n

When this report was being compiled, the outcome of
\nthe Regional Security Council meeting was being awaited, because the decision
\nthereof would determine whether or not the rituals for the funeral and
\nsubsequent enskinment would go ahead. <\/p>\n

On Thursday, the chief of Sagnarigu and his entourage,
\nwho were attending the scheduled funeral of the late Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani II, were
\nsuddenly attacked around 5:30pm with stones amid gunshots. \u00a0<\/p>\n

In the process, one Ali Zabanga, 33, was shot dead in
\na house belonging to the Abudus. He left behind two wives and three children.<\/p>\n

While driving towards the Gbewaa Palace, the youth of
\nYendi hurled stones at them, smashing windscreens of the vehicles.<\/p>\n

Reports also indicated that the windscreens of vehicles
\nentering and leaving Yendi were smashed at Zohe on the outskirts of Yendi along
\nthe Tamale-Yendi road.<\/p>\n

The windscreen of Police Navara pickup with
\nregistration No GP 3840 was damaged with stones as well.<\/p>\n

Information gathered by DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> indicated that
\na house known as Duayili at the old palace junction, and others belonging to the
\nMba Dugu of the Kampakuya-Na, grandmother of the Bolin Lana and the family of
\nthe Bolin Lana\u2019s secretary had been burnt down.<\/p>\n

Two others, Iddrisu Abdulai, 50, of Abudu Royal Gate and
\nAbdallah Somed, 46, were shot in the hip and upper part of the thigh
\nrespectively. <\/p>\n

They are currently receiving treatment at the
\nemergency ward of the Yendi Government Hospital.<\/p>\n

Reports said the neck of Abdulai Issah, 26, of the
\nAndani faction, was also slashed while riding on his motorbike.<\/p>\n

Secretary to the Abudu Family, Iddrisu Alhassan, who
\nconfirmed the shooting to DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, said four of their
\nmembers, who were shot, were rushed to the Yendi Government Hospital and are
\ncurrently receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

According to him, the police have been notified for
\nthe appropriate action to be taken. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Military and police personnel have since been beefed
\nup in Yendi for the funeral of the late overlord.<\/p>\n

Elders of the Andani Family and the kingmakers
\ncomprising Kuga Naa, Tuguri Nam, Gomle and Kpati Naa, are expected to select a
\nnew Yaa Naa on the night of Friday, 19th<\/sup> January, 2019. <\/p>\n

So far, calm has returned to the area for the funeral
\nto proceed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the leadership of the Dagbon Forum has
\ncondemned the recent violent clashes between the Abudus and Andanis.<\/p>\n

The Dagbon Forum, led by its national president, Dr.
\nSulemana Abudulai, has appealed to traditional rulers on both sides of the
\nGbewaa Family, to firmly adhere to the roadmap to peace brokered by the Committee
\nof Eminent Chiefs. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that the roadmap provides a once-in-a-lifetime
\nopportunity to bring about lasting peace, stability and development in Dagbon,
\nand for ordinary citizens of Ghana living in this part of the country to live
\nfuller lives than they have done over the last 40 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people, who have paid and continue to pay dearly for this state of affairs, are the ordinary people of Dagbon, women and children, whohave lost opportunities for proper development and growth,\u201d according to the Dagbon Forum.<\/p>\n
