According to the King, the region has suffered a lot hence it is important for the leadership of the two giant Islamic groups to preserve and maintain the peace the region is currently enjoying.
“Whenever there is a problem, we call on Imams to solve it. And if today Imams are at each other’s throats it means that we cannot control the situation any longer. Therefore, I am directing them to cease the friction among themselves”, he said.
The King of Dagbon added that he will not hesitate to deal with any Imam or individual who defies his order. “Whoever goes out there and repeats it, I will isolate that person and deal with him”, he warned.
