FLASHBACK: Otumfuo Osei Tutu II flanked by Nayiri Naa Bohugu Mahami Abdulai (left) and Yagbonwura Tuntumba Boressa I<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is
\ntension between Gonjas and Mamprusis over land boundaries located close to
\nDaboya in the North Gonja District of the Savannah Region.<\/p>\n

The Wasipe
\nTraditional Council in Gonjaland has allegedly sent a word to Mamprusis living
\nin communities perceived to belong to Gonjas that from the 10-15th July, 2019,
\nthey would enskin Chiefs for the various communities and if the Mamprusis
\nrefuse to accept the Chiefs, \u201cforce would be applied.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mamprusis
\nyouth have also indicated that they would resist any attempt by the Gonjas to
\nenskin any Chief in their communities and that they are ready for them.<\/p>\n

The two
\ntribes have claimed separate ownerships of communities like Lukula, Mempeasem,
\nSakpegapala ,Zooyiri and others.<\/p>\n

The Soo
\nNaaba from the Mamprusis side has already enskinned various Chiefs for the
\ncontested communities to which the Gonjas have refused to recognize them.<\/p>\n

The
\nMamprusis have alleged that the Wasipewura and his people \u2018politically\u2019 carved
\nthe communities into the North Gonja District but that does not guarantee them
\nto claim ownership of the lands and people.<\/p>\n

The Nayiri
\nwho is the overlord of the Mamprusis is reportedly not happy about the three
\nmonths ultimatum issued to the Mamprusis living around Daboya and the fact that
\nhis people are being forced to pay homage to the Gonjas. <\/p>\n

The Youth
\nleader of the Mamprusis, Iddrisu Mohammed, at a press conference in Janga said
\nthat they are tired of the numerous threats from the Gonjas and that they were
\nready them. <\/p>\n

The youth
\nleader stated that the Gonjas have said they would take the issue to court and
\ninsisted that they were ready to meet them in court to prove to them that the
\nMamprusis are the rightful owners of the lands.<\/p>\n

He called
\non government to come out and demarcate the boundaries of the Savannah and
\nNorth East regions to finally solve the issue once and for all.<\/p>\n

He also
\nsaid in the interest of peace, the government should constitute a committee to determine
\nthe rightful owners of the lands in dispute to set the records straight.<\/p>\n

The Wasipe
\nTraditional Council in their recent press release stated that Wasipe people
\nhave been faced with serious security challenges with the Mamprusi and some
\nTampulma settlers on Gonjaland.<\/p>\n

The
\nYagbonwura who is the overlord of the Gonjas has not commented
\non the issue.<\/p>\n
