Nayiri Rejects Otumfuo-Led Mediation Report on Bawku Chieftaincy Dispute

The Nayiri, Overlord of Mamprugu, has formally and unequivocally rejected the mediation report presented by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on the protracted Bawku Chieftaincy Dispute, describing it as procedurally flawed, legally untenable, and constitutionally impermissible.
