The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei-Tutu, the Paramount Chief of the Mamprusi Traditional Area, Na-Yiri and the Chief of Damongo, Yagbonwura are on their way to Accra to help in the mediation efforts in the Yendi crisis.

The team, which was put together by the government would help in finding a solution to the crisis to bring peace to the area. Mr Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, Minister of Information briefing newsmen in Accra on Tuesday, said the "three have been tasked by the President to meet with Dagbon leaders and their people to ensure that the current calm in the area produces peace".

It would also seek a lasting solution to the protracted problems facing the traditional area. He explained that the Asantehene was included in the team because "traditionally, they are brothers, all belonging to one of the five Kotokos".
