| Ghana: Wa Naa Passes Away |
| 2006-09-07 |
| The Wa Naa, Alhaji Yakubu Seidu Soale II, the Paramount Chief of the Wala Traditional Area, died early Monday morning and was buried at the wala royal mausoleum after Muslim and traditional burial rites. According to palace sources, the late chief, aged 81, went back to his bedroom after saying the early morning prayers on Monday morning but was found dead about one-and-a-half hours later. Although he was enskinned paramount chief in 2001, he was eventually out doored in 2005 as a result of litigation. The Supreme Court eventually upheld an earlier judgment in his favour by the regional house of chiefs. He left behind six wives, 36 children and 18 grand children. In his private life, the late chief was a farmer and a businessman. The Upper West Regional Minister, Mr Ambrose Dery, consoled the bereaved family and presented four maxi bags of maize and four mini bags of rice on behalf of Regional Coordinating Council while the Wa Municipal Assembly presented two maxi bags of maize and two mini bags of rice and a sheep to the bereaved family. |
