Tamale, the capital city of the Northern Region, is feverishly getting ready to host the 62nd national Independence Day anniversary parade of the security agencies and schoolchildren.

Some irate youth in the Yendi municipality believed to have the support of the overlord of Dagbon, Ya Na Abukari Mahama II attempted to attack the Yendi Divisional Commander ACP Peter Akokora Ayirezang in front of the Yendi Divisional Police Headquarters yesterday.

DGN Online gathered that the attack on the police commander was as a result of the commander’s refusal to grant the request of the overlord of Dagbon regarding a matter at the police station.

The youth, however, felt the police commander disrespected the chief by refusing to grant his request.

Dagbon Forum, a Non-profit Youth Development Association, has donated some essential items to the Tamale Central Hospital, two Municipal and nine District Hospitals in the Northern Region to aid the fight against the spread of COVID-19.

The Forum has also donated to the Gbewaa Palace, the Mion-Lana and Yoo-Naa Palaces.

A delegation dispatched by the Inspector General of Police James Oppong-Boanuh is currently on its way to the ancient town of Yendi in the Northern Region to resolve the impasse between the Divisional Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Peter Akokora Ayirezang and the King of Dagbon.

Irate youth in Yendi with the overwhelming support of the Dagbon overlord, Yaa-Na Abukari Mahama II last weekend were very furious and attempted to attack the Yendi Divisional Commander for disrespecting the King.

The Paramount Chief of Mion, Alhaji Mahamadu Abdulai has donated 100 bags of cement to Yendi based Senior High School, Dagboŋ State.

Dagboŋ State Senior High / Technical School launched their walling project to help create a safe and conducive environment for both Students and Masters on campus.
