The funeral of the late Mahamadu Abdulai and Yakubu Andani, which will be held at different times in Gbewa Palace, is expected to be the beginning of the road map for peace in a region known for its conflict for many years.
Martina Bugri, Joy News correspondent for the northern region, said police were ready to maintain peace in the region.
Already, tension is mounting in the region as a result of threats of resistance by a group that wanted the funeral of the late Mahamadu Abdulai not to take place in Gbewa Palace.
Dagbon, who was once a peaceful community, was torn apart in a conflict zone because of a leadership conflict between the Abudus and the Andanis.

Since 2002, the two factions have been fighting over who, where and when to perform the funeral of Abudu leader Mahamadu Abdulai.
The Andanis claim that the late Mahamadu did not die as Ya-Na and that he would resist any attempt to have his funeral buried in the venerable Gbewa Palace.
There is also the question of when to hold the funeral of the late Ya-Na Yakubu Andani.
Shortly after his badbadination, the then president, John Kufuor, formed a committee of three prominent leaders led by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu, to mediate between the two families and find a solution to the problem. Amicable conflict.
After a decade of mediation between the two families, the leaders announced a roadmap for peace including the funeral arrangements of the last two Ya-Nas families.
That of Mahamadu Abdulai will take place from December 14 to 28, after that of Ya-Na Yakubu Andani in January.
Before the first funerals, there are tensions in the region with some threats of resistance.
But the police insist that there will be no place to tolerate troublemakers.
Tanko Yussif, DSP of the North Police, is declared ready to face the scoundrels who foment troubles
"We are about to protect citizens in all circumstances. Christmas is coming. Criminal activity skyrockets at Christmas. We also have a lot of activities in front of us. Farmers Day is here in the northern region.
"We have two funerals in Yendi, so we have to go out and let people understand that their supporters are here; we have the resources, we have the men, we have the equipment and we will defend them, "he said.
