Following an unsuccessful attempt to apprehend the Nayiri and the recently skinned Bawku Naba at Nalerigu, security analyst Adib Sani is urging government to use diplomatic means instead.

There’s uneasy calm in the area after the youth on Sunday night fiercely resisted moves by soldiers to arrest the two chiefs acting on the warrant issued by a High Court in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region.

Adib Sani in an interview with Starr News said the military arrest was dead on arrival and advised the government to resort to diplomacy to avoid an escalation of the already fragile situation in the enclave.

“…There absolutely no way, either the Nayiri or the enskinned Bawku Naba can be accessed without the use of brute force, and the people are not willing to back down. So what it means is that lives might be lost if they are to indeed access any of these chiefs.

“We are really in disturbing times but I’m hoping that immediately government engages the two sides. Inasmuch as we sometimes have to use force, for now, the government has run out of options and the only one there is the use of diplomacy so government should use this opportunity to meet the two sides and see how we can amicably come together and address the insecurity that is brewing.”
