Ya-Na's Head Found

The Head and Limb of the late Ya Na, Yakubu Andani II, have finally been located. The head and limb were dislocated from the body by some unscrupulous persons.

Readers may recall that in 2002, people with devious intentions in the Dagbon Traditional Area killed 30 people and beheaded the late Ya Na, cut off one of his limbs and charred the body.

Ever since the incident, government has to been able to tell Ghanaians whether the head and limbs of the Ya Na has been found or not.

But today, “The Ghanaian Voice” Newspaper can say the head and limb of the late Ya Na have been found. They were deposited near the door mouth leading to where chiefs are often buried at the Gbewaa Palace three days after the abomination.

How the head and limb got to the Gbewaa Palace without the security noticing it is equally a myth. This revelation is supported by the Wauku Commission’s report, which was released quite recently.

It stated that a head and a limb were found at the Gbewaa Palace three days after the King and 30 other people were murdered in cold blood. The report recommended to government to conduct DNA test on them to establish that the head and limb were indeed those of the late Ya Na.

Meanwhile, the two gates are to enter fresh negotiations at Akosombo to reignite the peace process. In the first peace deal at the same venue, the Andanis boycotted the process complaining that their demands were not met. Ghanaian Voice
