The Regent of Dagbon KAMPAKUYA-NAA ANDANI YAKUBU ABDULAI has urged the people of Dagbon to treat the anonymous voice recording alleging security threat in Dagbon and Nanumg with the contempt it deserves.
The voice making rounds on social media and on people’s mobile phones claims that the KAMPAKUYA-NAA ANDANI YAKUBULAI is masterminding a planned Konkomba attack on Dagbↄŋ and Nanung ostensibly to continue to keep me in the Gbewaa Palace, and that the Government of His Excellency, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is privy to the war plan.
The voice recording emanated few weeks after unfortunate communal clashes at Nakpachie in the Yendi Municipality.
The recent skirmishes at Nakpachie which were triggered by a misunderstanding between a Dagomba man and a Konkomba man is alleged to be a tip of the iceberg.
BELLOW IS THE FULL STATEMENT
My attention has been drawn to a widely circulated anonymous voice recording on social media aimed at causing fear and panic in Dagbↄŋ and Nanung. This mischievous message alleges that I am masterminding a planned Konkomba attack on Dagbↄŋ and Nanung ostensibly to continue to keep me in the Gbewaa Palace, and that the Government of His Excellency, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is privy to the war plan.
The anonymous voice recording is a provocative, deliberate and calculated act of wicked misinformation aimed at causing anxiety, panic and fear in Dagbↄŋ and Nanung.
I appeal to all discerning Ghanaians to disregard the message on social media and treat it with contempt. It is unthinkable and preposterous that I, with the mandate of keeping the peace in Dagbↄŋ should be sponsoring conflict.
Let me assure the good people of Ghana and particularly those in Dagbↄŋ that during my installation as the Regent of Dagbↄŋ, I swore to protect, preserve and defend the traditional area with all my might, and therefore it is absurd to think that I will incite the very people I preside over to go to war with each other. To the best of my knowledge, there is no planned attack in which I am the architect. The President of the Republic, at his inaugural ceremony, swore to promote peace, defend and do good for all manner of people in Ghana. It is unthinkable to imagine that His Excellency and the Hon Minister of Interior will be part of any diabolic act of terror to destabilize the area.
I have already referred this matter to the security agencies to investigate. I have urged them to leave no stone unturned in the course of this exercise. We need to find out those behind this ploy to destabilize the traditional area. I also want to call on the people of Dagbↄŋ to volunteer information to assist the security agencies in order to get to the bottom of this allegation.
We pray for the best in Dagbↄŋ and Ghana as a whole.
Thank you.

REGENT OF DAGBↃŊ
KAMPAKUYA-NAA ANDANI YAKUBU ABDULAI
