The House of Chiefs of the Western Region has indicated that its doors are open to mediate the quarrel between Lower and Upper Dixcove.
The two cities have a long-standing dispute over borders that degenerated earlier this week, resulting in the destruction and attack of a number of people in Lower Dixcove, including its leader, Nana Akwasi Agyemang.
Addressing Citi News, Acting President of the House of Chiefs of the Western Region, Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli III, warned that people are doing themselves justice.
"We are also doing our best to examine what led to this incident. We just take the pieces everyone knows now, but that does not mean we're not aware of the chieftaincy issues here. We have to look where the problem is and try to solve it and find where the truth is. Whatever the hypothesis, people should contain themselves.
President Akufo Addo badured the people of Dixcove, in the Western Region, of an adequate police presence following a dispute between leaders.
The chief of the Lower Dixcove, Nana Akwasi Agyemang, who is currently admitted to Effia-Nkwanta hospital in Sekondi, was attacked by masked badailants in her palace, leaving him wounded with a knife.
President Akufo Addo, who visited the supreme leader and some of his elders at the hospital, promised adequate police protection.
The dispute forced President Akufo Addo to cancel a lawn cutting ceremony for the construction of a landing beach.
