Persons arrested for breaking this bond of good behavior will serve a one month sentence in prison, Joy News' Eastern Region correspondent Kofi Siaw has disclosed.
The bond follows tensions and minor skirmishes triggered by the installation of a chief in Akyem Nkwantanan, a community near Kade in the Eastern Region.

The meeting would discuss how to find a long lasting solution to the dispute and would at 1:00 pm, Kofi Siaw has revealed.
