The Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Abukari Mahama, has enskined Iddirisu Imoro II as Yelizoli -Laana (chief of Zabzugu).

The enskinment which took place at the Gbewaa Palace in peaceful atmosphere on Sunday, was the 10th enskinment made by Yaa-Naa Abukari, since he assumed the seat as the Overlord of Dagbon.

The Overlord tasked the new Zabzugu chief to work hard to ensure peace in his jurisdiction, stressing peace was a pre-requisite for development.

The new chief who was elated about his enskinment commended the Yaa-Naa for the confidence reposed in him and pledged to work with his elders and well-meaning citizens of the area to promote peace and unity in the area.

“My primary goal is to work towards sustainable peace and unity among my subjects,” he promised.

The chief also indicated his readiness to work assiduously with the relevant authorities to address the developmental challenges facing the traditional area.
