The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has affirmed that Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II is the lawful and rightful chief of the Bawku traditional area, citing long-established tradition and binding rulings of the Supreme Court of Ghana.
Presenting the Bawku Peace Mediation Report to President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday, December 16, Otumfuo said this conclusion was reached after extensive consultations with chiefs of towns and communities affected by the withdrawal of traditional recognition following the implementation of the 1957 Governor-General’s White Paper based on the Afari Committee’s recommendations, as well as subsequent legal instruments including NLC Decree 112 and PNDC Law 75.
