Andanis call for fresh investigations into Ya-Na’s
death
Tema, Jan. 16, Ghanadot/GNA – Members of the Andani Gate
to the Ya-Na’s Skin of the Dagbon Traditional Area
resident in Ashaiman have called for the reopening of
investigations into the death of Ya-Na Yakubu Andani,
Overlord of Dagbon.
A statement Mr Abdulai Baba Gomda, a Spokesman for the
group, signed on Friday said since the Wuaku Commission,
set up by New Patriotic Party (NPP) Government failed to
identify the culprits, it stood to reason that fresh
investigations be conducted to bring the perpetrators to
book.
The statement, which was addressed to President John
Evans Atta Mills and copied to the GNA, said it was
about time “we knew why and who killed Ya-Na because the
crime cannot be easily forgotten”.
It said Andanis decided to vote massively for the
National Democratic Congress so that its government
would reopen investigations into the assassination of Ya-Na
Yakubu Andani, therefore, failure to grant their desire
would be a disappointment.
Ya-Na Yakubu Andani was assassinated with 30 others on
March 27 2002, when a protracted chieftaincy dispute
between the Andani Gate and Abudu Gate boiled over.
