Hohoe Traditional Council to impose strict residency conditions on Muslims returning after last week's deadly violence

The Gbi Traditional Council in Hohoe says Muslims who fled the Volta Region town in the wake of last week's deadly violence cannot return without first agreeing to a set of conditions the council will impose on them.

The Council Tuesday announced it is setting up its own committee tasked with the responsibility of formulating strict conditions based on which the Muslims will be allowed back into the community.

The council issued its latest edict during a media interaction in Hohoe. Togbe Agyeman the fifth spoke on behalf of the council.

“We are not entirely refusing to admit them in our community but their continuous staying in our community would be under strict conditions. Abide by such conditions, we believe they can live with us.”

Meanwhile, spokesperson for the Muslim community in Hohoe, Alhaji Ridwan Merega says they will wait to be formally informed by the Gbi Traditional Council before reacting to the suggested conditions.
