On Friday a new Ya-Na, the overlord of the Dagbon Traditional area, was enskinned in an elaborate ceremony in the Northern Region.
It was a momentous occasion because this chieftaincy dispute has probably run the longest in Ghanaian history with two factions, the Abudus and Andanis both vying for the seat leading to numerous violent clashes over the years and the murder of the last Ya-Na in 2002.
