“…Also, rebuking the Kampakuya-Naa and the Kuga-Naa for non-cooperation with the CEC in a televised presentation was contrary to a truly transformative mediation. The Kampakuya-Naa's rebuttal of the CEC's assertion of non-cooperation further proved that the CEC was not transformative at the end of its assignment (Bolaji 2020). Tuurosong (2021), in his work, investigates peace-promoting and conflict-resolving themes in some Dagbani movies during the conflict-prosecuting period.…”

“…The authors claimed that some Asante cultural terms played some roles in peace negotiation, which meant that the approach could not be entirely indigenous to Dagbon. Also, that the CEC's peace negotiation processes missed some vital components of the Dagbon indigenous approach to conflict resolution, such as its sanctions, soothsaying, and the engagement of the Kuga-Naa as a non-royal bridge between the Abudu and Andani royal gates makes it difficult to term the CEC's work as indigenous (Tuurosong 2021;Bolaji 2020).…”

“…Their work gives a good impression of the CEC's use of Kuga-Naa's (a non-royal elder) deep engagement in the peace process. Nonetheless, the CEC' did not end its assignment with that level of cooperation and engagement with some of the Yendi elders, including the Kuga-Naa (Bolaji 2020;Tuurosong (2021). The conspicuous absence of the custodians of the kingdom, notably the Kuga-Naa, Tugri-Naa, Gomli and others -who should have officiated the rituals -at the final funeral rites of Yaa-Naa Mahammadu Abudulai IV spoke volume of the CEC's disengagement with essential stakeholders (Bolaji 2020).…”

Until the regicide of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II, the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict – which has been intractable since the colonial era – was largely understudied. Nevertheless, the gruesome “murder” of the king provoked some scholarly interest in the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict. This article reviews significant scholarly works on the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict after the regicide.Also, it explores and interrogates the diverse perspectives which scholars have employed to explain the complexities of the conflict. Furthermore, it critiques some scholars’ uncritical acceptance that the rotational system of succession between the Abudu and Andani has been the tradition and presents the extent of its operation in Dagbon dynastic politics. Additionally, this article unearths some misrepresentations of historical facts and personalities and important dates. This article concludes that since historical truths play crucial roles in prosecuting intractablery to get the historical facts right in documenting them for posterity.

Global urban population growth appears to challenge governments’ ability to ensure access to essential urban services, such as policing. This situation is impeding the achievement of SDG target 11.1. However, citizens’ role in co-producing safe and secure neighbourhoods has been instrumental in augmenting limited governments’ efforts in the provision of adequate security. Acknowledging the relevance of co-producing community policing (CP) outcomes in neighbourhood crime management, this study critically examines the awareness, knowledge, understanding, and effectiveness of community policing strategies in North-Western Ghana. In a mixed methods research design, the study revealed a low level of awareness of community policing strategies in North-Western Ghana, which constrains the efforts to initiate and benefit from the outcomes of co-producing community policing. Consequently, knowledge, understanding, and effectiveness of community policing strategies appear very limited and, therefore, draw back the desire for inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities as detailed in SDG 11. Restoring community watch committees and enkindling effective co-production of community policing outcomes are critical parts to the global crime management strategies.
