Atwima District CHRAJ intervenes in conflict

Nkawie (Ash), Aug 3, GNA - The Atwima District Office of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has successfully mediated in a feud, which had the potential to develop into bloodshed between two Islamic factions, the Al-Suna and Tijaniya sects at Nkawie-Panin. The two sects have, therefore, signed an undertaking to be of good behaviour and live in peace.

Briefing the GNA on the issue, Mr Gabriel Essilfie, the CHRAJ District Director, said the Atwima District Assembly referred a case of an attack on Chief Salifu of the Tijaniya sect by Sheikh Abdulai Musah of Al-Suna to his outfit for settlement. The attack, he said, scared the other Muslims from worshipping at the Nkawie-Panin mosque, a situation that created tension among Muslims in the community.
