 General News of Friday, 8 April 2005
As the day appointed for the burial of the dismembered mortal remains of the murdered overlord of Dagbon, Ya-Na Yakubu Andani II, 11th April 2005, draws near the people of Dagbon are faced with the real crisis engendered by the killing of the Ya-Na in their quest for a successor for the murdered king.
Ordinarily, the question of who becomes the overlord of Dagbon on the demise of a ruling overlord should not have posed any problem at all as it had long been settled that succession to the skin of Dagbon should be rotational between the Abudu royal family and the Andani royal family.
The Abudus claim is said to be based on the rotational succession, upon which basis they are said to be arguing that once the Ya-Na, who was an Andani, is dead, never mind the circumstances under which he died, it is now the turn of the Abudus to, as it were, ascend the throne.
