A statement from the government, signed by Government Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, said that a delegation led by the Interior Minister, Muntaka Mubarak, has been dispatched to meet the Yagbonwura and other stakeholders in the area.

The team is expected to work with the Regional Security Council, traditional leaders and community stakeholders to peacefully resolve outstanding disputes to restore peace and uphold law and order.
