The Ayieta Azantilow Royal family of the Builsa Traditional Area has settled its differences and has set a date for the funeral of Nab Ayieta Azantillow, the late Paramount Chief who died in 2006.This would pave way for a new chief to be en-skinned.Speaking to the Ghana News Agency at Sandema on Wednesday, the Builsa District Chief Executive, Mr Norbert Awulley, said he led the peace process to unite the family when he took office.As a result, members of the royal family who were not on talking terms since the death of Nab Ayieta Azantilow are now at peace with each other and are preparing to perform the funeral of the chief.In 2006 when the chief passed away, as tradition demands, the clan of the royal family was supposed to bury the chief but disagreement ensued between the clan head and the children of the late chief.The children demanded that they buried the chief and therefore smuggled the body to the Bolgatanga mortuary.The family clan took the matter to court and whilst the court had not yet taken decision on the matter, the children went back to mortuary and took the corpse for burial.This led to disagreements among the royal family that led to them not talking to each other to the extent that they did things separately even when it came to funeral performance.It took prominent state functionaries at that time to settle the issue but the feuding members of the family would not come to an agreement.“I am very happy that they listened to me when I appealed to them to let peace prevail for the sake of development. Now there is absolute peace in the area and development is taking place rapidly”, Mr Awuley, whose mother is a member of the royal family, said.A letter written and signed by the Chairman of the funeral Planning Committee, Mr Robert Asakabta on behalf of the Funeral Committee to the DCE, said the funeral would be performed from April 27 to April 30.The late chief reigned for 58 years.Source: GNA
