Wa, (UWR), August 29, GNA - The Upper West Regional Security Council (REGSEC) on Monday set up a five-member committee to investigate the clashes between two Muslim factions in Nandom in the Upper West Region.
The committee comprised; a representative each from the Judicial Service, Regional Peace Council, Traditional Authority, the Nandom District Assembly, Regional Chief Imam and the Upper West Regional Coordinating Council.
Regional Minister Alhaji Sulemana Alhassan who inaugurated the committee charged members to come up with measures that would prevent such conflicts and reprisal occurrences in the future.
He asked the members to look into the both immediate and remote causes leading to the disturbances, assess the conduct of the factions, assess extent of damage and also examine any other matters relevant to the incident.
“The committee is given 14 working days to submit a report, and I urged the Committee to be dispassionate and do thorough work that will help to bring finality to the matter,” he said.
Alhaji Alhassan noted that the Nandom clash was the second time REGSEC was inaugurating a Committee to investigate into disturbances in some municipal and District Assemblies in the Region and would therefore not sit unconcern for such unwanted disturbances.
“There is the need to delve into the matter and any person found culpable will have to be dealt with accordingly,” he warned.
He appealed to the factions to remain calm and give the committee the necessary support and cooperation to function effectively.
His Lordship Sidney Braimah at the Wa magistrate Court who chairs the committee assured REGSEC and the public of good and trusted work.
“We will reach our conclusions without fear or favour,” he said.
