Maxwell Ziyerley Agbambilla, Lawyer for Bawku Naaba is appealing to the government to act swiftly to settle the longstanding Bawku chieftaincy conflict.

He made this call on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, during Joy News’ AM Show, following recent disturbances in the Upper East region that claimed 16 lives.

Maxwell Agbambilla said that “On this matter, I think the government must act and act swiftly because we have identified the cause of the problem from day one.”

He added, “To my brothers down there, I think that continuing to jeopardise our lives and put our lives at risk is not worth it, because at the end of the day, it doesn’t benefit anybody in any way.”

Also speaking on the show was security consultant Professor Kwesi Aning, who condemned the violence and called for a joint effort in tackling the conflict.
