He blamed the unrest on individuals who were deliberately attempting to sabotage ongoing mediation efforts aimed at restoring lasting peace in the area.

He spoke during a courtesy call by the Overlord of Gonjaland, His Royal Majesty Yagbonwura BII-Kunutu Jewu Soale I, to the Golden Jubilee House.

President Mahama expressed grave concern about the impact of the conflict on education and public service delivery in the troubled town.

He described the latest acts of violence as calculated attempts by certain individuals to derail the peace process.

He noted that the government had entrusted the peace process to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who had been actively leading mediation efforts to bring an end to the long-standing conflict.

According to the president, the Asantehene had been providing regular updates, with significant progress made toward resolution.
