Eliminate the enemies and treat them – Papa J to the police

Wumbei Mbuer Jacob, a troubled resident of Saboba in Chereponi District, called on the police department to search for and treat people at the root of the conflict in the district.

He believes that there are hidden faces that exacerbate the problem.

Mr. Jacob made this call in an interview with Modern Ghana when he called Chakosi and Konkombas to end the conflict.

This follows the arrest of a local National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) official alleged to have been transporting live ammunition to Chereponi in the Northeast region.

The culprit, Gushi Kwesi Mohammed, was arrested Sunday night for transporting 250 AAA cartridges concealed in ten boxes in the troubled neighborhood.

Mr. Jacob, who finds the disturbing news, congratulated the security services for this arrest and urged them to keep an eye on the few who tarnish the image of the district.

"I must salute the security apparatus for doing its best as a person from the region and who wants peace. However, I wish to appeal to the hierarchy of security that they do their best to keep an eye on the few who provide their image and deal with them, "he said.

According to him, the surest way to end the conflict is for both factions to sit down and regulate the discourse between them.

"We, the Chakosi and the Konkombas, have to sit down and talk, let's start by exposing our loved ones who are the triggers and making gains, if the main road has security while ammunition is carried by day, what happens at the Togolese border is not controlled he questioned.

Calling for peace between the two factions, he said "there is no war against the conflict that does not end on a negotiating table, no matter how long it takes." More we will do it sooner, better we will save ourselves and our future, give peace a chance. "

"Have not we heard the cry of our children physically and mentally traumatized ?, Women and children dying? Hunger loomed? Do we have a better route from Yendi to Saboba and Chereponi? Do we have a hospital offering quality resources? water to drink, "he added.

The violence began on the evening of Friday, March 15, when unknown badailants opened fire on Nawieku, a community in Chokosi in the district, injuring one person.

75 military and 40 police officers were deployed to the area as a result of reported reprisal attacks.
