The chief is the cause of the violence and must be arrested. Why did he ordered to remove the fence? he should have followed the due process to remove the fence. Being a chief doesn't give you the right to destroy other people's property. Chiefs are selling lands and in Ghana without any consideration. Even selling lands meant for burial

Stupid comment.Why should they put it up in the first place?If they felt cheated,wouldn't they have resulted on the legal way of solving problems but rather subjected themselves to this uncivilized behaviors.Do you know the percentage of Muslims in Ghana and the percentage of Christians?Why always Muslims are seen to be violent and not Christians?They should get education and probably live a responsible life

These conflicts be it political or religious does not improve our systems so I pray that if there are persons instigating or ready to revenge they should stop. This should not be politicised.

Author: Efo Kwaawaaku Canada.....

If that is the case MPS are not special, then I'll like to ask Pratt is John Mahama special? as well as the ministries who have 24 hours protection by police even Mahama wife, this Pratt is turning to be an idiot nowadays trust me, Canada prime minister can go to hockey game with his son sitting in not VIP seat but in Ghana wisdom demands that 270 plus MPS need to be protected till proper security measures whereby our democracy has been rooted, and police officers are neutral have guts to invite and open investigation against ministers even president about corruption, look at Dogbe can't police question him?our security and judicial system is what destroying Ghana

Old soldier, Mahama is very special. He is the duly elected president of Ghana and is about to get his second term as president. Even his dogs need to be protected from twerp s like you. There are laid down laws to change your President's position. We don't have people like you in Canada and so their Presidents can go skiing with out visible security. When your favorite president is elected, God forbid, advice him/her to move about without security people.

Why always Muslims want to take opportunity at the slighters provocation which has no religious element to attack Christians. If your religion is not satanic/demonic will you people behaved this barbaric and uncivilized manner. Why burning those churches what link do this have with the church. Nothing will you do to stop the church. For God will build His Church and gates of hell/hade shall never prevailed against it. Better check your ways before the wrath of God come upon you.

Yu are right, let find a way to avoid this kind of tension before its escalate. I understand that the said Land was given to the muslims about 40 years ago, so they could have taken the case to court or to Manchia, the big man himself. The chief also could have gone to court. This is an emotional time, if my relative is buried there and yu sent thugs to retrieve the body and leave them around, think if it happens to yu. Both sides need to think for the good of mankind. Peace and stop the tribal and religious hatred.

It is about time to secure the region for their originated owners.

If you originated from the north and you come to the region you should obey the traditions and laws of the region. Period

Clearly, Ghana media always being bias against Islam and Moslems. Had this issue involved any youth group other than Moslems, the media would have remained silenced and even condemned the chief for inciting violence. Every time there is an issue involving Moslems in the country, the media reports in a negative manner. We're watching with patience

At this age and time some people think that Ghana belongs to one ethnic group and think that Muslims in Ghana came from Arabia and settled in Ghana, this MALICIOUS reportage is by and large carried by journalist who ought to know better. who are the locals in tafo zango, they are the very Muslims they seek to blackmail, majority of whom are the very Akan tribe. Mallam Issah Osei may be dead but his wives and children who are Muslims live in tafo if you care to know this is just one out of thousand of such Muslims of Akan background in tafo, who then are the locals?
