A statement signed by Sheikh Dr Amin Bonsu, the National Chairman of GMM, said “we can ensure peace when we have patience, which is also one of Allah’s attributes. We should learn to forgive each other in order to earn Allah’s blessings than begrudge each other and earn his curse,”
There was a deadly clash between some residents from the Muslim Community and loyalist of the Tafo traditional council on February 10, 2016, over disagreements over a piece of land at the Tafo cemetery.
About 45 people who were arrested after the incident have been released on police enquiry bail.

The town is currently under a 4am to 8pm curfew.
Amin Bonsu says the clash “should not be seen as a religious war. It is a community that is facing some challenges which all must help to solve.”
He says the Holy Quran advocates “anyone who slays another, is seen to have slain the whole of mankind. And anyone who saves a soul, is seen to have saved the whole of mankind’.
“Ashanti’s and Zongo’s had always lived in peace and it was noteworthy that the Zongo’s had contributed immensely towards the development of the region over the years.” Anim Bonsu says in this statement.
The town is calm and the curfew hours will be reviewed when the need arises according to the police in the Ashanti regional.
