Ghana: Family, 23 Confined to the Bush - On Orders of a Stone Age Chief

Tamale — THE PARAMOUNT Chief of the Wungu Traditional Area, Wungu Naba Alhaji Saaka Sulemana, has banished Mr. Fuseini Bawa, a resident, and his entire household of 23 from their residence at Kukuazugu, a suburb of Walewale in the West Mamprusi District of the Northern Region. The chief is alleged to have also confiscated five houses (one residential house and four other uncompleted houses belonging to the victim), as well as his two boutiques. This comes on the heels of several allegations being leveled against the Wungu Naba in recent times by some aggrieved residents of the area for always using his children and warriors to bully or beat up persons who oppose his leadership style.

The Wungu Naba is alleged to have been delivering judgment on all criminal cases brought before him and taking arbitrary decisions instead of allowing such matters to be handled by the Police.
