“Many of those who appear in the law court are our people. We can’t allow this to continue,” he said.
The legal practitioner reiterates constantly stressed how unemployment is contributing to the Zongo youth agreeing to cause mayhem when contracted by some people.
Mr Mohammed said there should be a rapid response to curb the situation.
“Enough is enough. We can’t allow this to continue,” he issued a rallying call.
The forum brought together politicians, chiefs and other professionals from the Wala community.
Secretary of the group, Ishaq Bakure said they would not champion the cause of peace for members, but they will also engage others to create enabling environment before, during and after this year’s election.
They would also travel back home to the Upper West Region if the need be to sensitise their families and friends there.
