Mamprugu won’t bow to pressure, Nayiri warns government after arrests

The Overlord of Mamprugu has accused the government of unconstitutional interference in chieftaincy affairs, warning that his people will not be forced to abandon their customs through what he describes as political coercion.

In a statement issued on Friday, the Mamprugu Traditional Council condemned the arrest of Alhaji Seidu Abagre, known in Mamprugu tradition as Naa Sheriga, who was enskinned by the Nayiri, Naa Bohagu Mahami Abdulai Sherigah II, in February 2023 as Bawku Naaba.
