The Executive Chairman of Doma Local Government Council, Hon. Jonathan Okuba Addra, JP, has lifted the six-month suspension placed on Agyema chieftaincy affairs.
Hon. Addra announced the decision at a peace meeting convened at the Council Secretariat on Thursday day, September 17, 2026.
Addra said the decision to lift the suspension followed several appeals from both parties who promised to co-exist peacefully and assured government of their commitment to maintain peace and unity among the Agyema people.
The Chairman, however, warned that government would not hesitate to take decisive measures should there be any breakdown of law and order in the area.
He further directed the District Head and Village Head to operate strictly within their respective jurisdictions and to follow due process and established guidelines in handling chieftaincy matters.
Speakers at the meeting endorsed the Chairman’s position on peace and unity in Agyema and agreed that government should take necessary action in the event of any breach of peace.
The meeting had in attendance the District Head, the Village Head, the Deputy Chairman of Doma LGC, the Council Secretary, the Director of Personnel Management, representatives of security agencies, and a representative each from both sides of the dispute.
