THE ACTING GOVERNOR-GENERAL TO INQUIRE INTO AND REPORT ITS FINDINGS ON THE CLAIM OF ABUGRAGO AZOKA TO HAVE BEEN ELECTED OR APPOINTED AND INSTALLED AS CHIEF OF THE KUSASI AREA\sINTRODUCTION
Kusasi is the name given to Ghana's north-eastern corner, which incorporates the Mamprusi State's northern lower regions.
The Red and White Voltas both go through the District, making it the most prolific around there in the country.
Most individuals that dwell there are Kusasi, however, there are additionally Mamprusis, Moshies, Busangas, Frafras, and a couple of Hausas.
The consolidated populace of any remaining clans, then again, doesn't draw nearer to the Kusasi figure.
As indicated by the 1951 registration, the District has around 147,000 Kusasis.
Bawku is the region's biggest and most critical town, as well as its authoritative focus.
The White Volta partitions the Kusasi district in two.
Agolle is the name of the eastern part, though Toende is the name of the western half. On the exchanging course between Gambaga (Mamprusi) and Wagadugu and Tenkudugu (Moshie) in the north, Bawku is situated toward the north of the Agolle District.
This examination is centred around the Bawku chieftaincy.
At the point when the Slave Trade was flourishing in the North, Naa Atabia, the Nayiri of Mamprusi, who lived in Nalerigu as his capital, requested his child Prince Ali to develop a station at Bawku to safeguard the shipping lane among Nalerigu and Gambaga in the south and Tenkudugu and Wagadugu in the north.
This was because the Kusasi who lived in that space made groups of criminals and thieves who waylaid and burglarized Mamprusi Traders while heading toward the North with their product and slaves on their excursion back toward the South.
In contrast with the Mamprusis, the Kusasis were in reverse and crude.
The clan was not efficient, without appropriate bosses who deserved admiration and nobility among the clan's individuals.
They without a doubt had clan bosses and obsession ministers who satisfied the obligations of bosses.
The Bawku skin came straightforwardly under the Nayiri of Mamprusi from the time Prince Ali constructed what might be viewed as a police post at Bawku and has remained there till today.
From that point forward, all of the Bawku-Naba's chiefs have been relatives of the sovereigns of Nalerigu.
Mizabaga, Mampaga, Mahamudu, and Mahama followed Ali (also called Seteen).
Bako was straightaway, trailed by Mamboda, Mahama II, Zongbeogo, Abuguri, and Awuni, in a specific order.
Six Mamprusi Princes from Bawku tested the skin after the passing of Na Awuni the Bawku-Naba.
They all went to the Nayiri in Nalerigu to be designated the Bawku-Naba, however only one was effective.
Yiremia is an older person who is half-visually impaired.
On the sixth of June, 1957, he was designated at Nalerigu, notwithstanding significant resistance from different sovereigns.
At Nalerigu, the obstruction proceeded, as a few of these sovereigns requested the Minister of Local Government to prevent Prince Yiremia from being designated.
In the meantime, in Bawku in the north, things reached a critical stage the following morning.
The Kusasis had come to Bawku in full power from the regions of Agolle and Toende and had chosen Abugurago Azoka as Bawku-Naba and Kusasis Head.
Regarding the matter, a few petitions and portrayals were addressed to the public authority.
A genuine situation had fostered that could rapidly grow into an ancestral conflict.
Endeavouring to pick without first directing exhaustive requests would have had heartbreaking ramifications.
Subsequently, His Excellency the Acting Governor-General designated this Committee to research it and report its decisions.
