The legitimacy of the late Mr. Andani Dasana described by sections of the public as the overlord of Nanung and Paramount Chief of Bimbilla who was killed recently has been challenged by members of his own family.
According to them, he is only known in the town as the former NDC Veranda Boys and Girls Chairman and the Regional Treasurer of NDC for the Northern Region.
Speaking at a media briefing in Accra yesterday, the Spokesperson for the family Mr. Zakari Surkani stated categorically that they had no knowledge and do not have any hand in the death of the late Mr. Andani Dasana, adding that the Security agencies handling the matter should be fair in their dealings with regards to the manner in which suspects are being arrested.
�We shall demand the immediate released of all detained suspects since the press conference by the late Andani�s family elder, one Osman Kiikaa on the Joy news that Mr. Andani was killed by unknown assilants the night of Thursday, 19th June, 2014, if this is the fact stated by Osman, why the continued spree of arrest which is clearly sideline and discriminatory� he stressed.
�We shall further state that the attacks in Bimbilla on Thursday night did not leave Mr. Adani dead but so many others including a four month old baby, Chief Karimog Naa Chichagi Gbong Lana and one Sulemana all inhabitants of Bimbilla. The unfortunate deaths must be thoroughly investigated by the National Security Apparatus in order to lay the facts bare and those found to be palpably punished severly to serve as deterrent to others who may harbor the intention of repeating such a thing somewhere�, he continued.
He recalled that �In an earlier media report by the son of the late Mr. Andani Dasana Abdulai Wumbei demanding for the immediate release of the body of the late Mr. Andani for burial. We wish to state that the customs and traditions of burial performed on late Nanung chiefs requires that such a personality should have no contention in relation to the chieftaincy title. But we all know that the late Mr. Andani has no such title to qualify him to buried in accordance with such customs and traditions of the Nanaung traditional area�
Mr. Zakari Surkani alleged that the Andani gate in Tamale has been the brain behind the disturbance in the Bimbilla Township since the days of the late Northern Regional Chairman of the ruling NDC, Sumani Zakari who is popularly called �Suffer to gain � they consistently and continually make it clear that they are going to destroy the Nanumba area, funding and supporting violence in the area and projecting the interest of the late Mr. Andani Dasana because the Andani gate of Tamale are NDC members and for that matter an Andani gate government is in power�
The spokesperson warned his brothers in Dagbong to stay away from the Nanumba chieftaincy affairs.
