The Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr has asked the Ghana Police Service to take a second look at their intelligence gathering capabilities.
Mr Baako was commenting on recent development at Chereponi where two factions are fighting over a piece of land.
The two factions: the Konkombas and Chekosis have been in a conflict that has claimed two lives and left hundreds of others displaced.
Kweku Baako speaking to this issue on Joy FM’s Newsfile programme Saturday said having intelligence can help in dealing with the situation. Apart from that, the Military should mount barracks at various locations to ensure the situation don't escalate.
“Take a second look at our intelligence gathering capability of our district and regional security council. Some preventive intelligence is important . . . so that we can pick up early warning signals. It’s very important. Consider having permanent barracks at some locations can help,” he said.
He also suggested reconciliation and peace talks involving both sides.

Kwaku Baako it appears you do not understand how these conflicts come up. The underlying factor is tribal. A simple argument between two people from different tribes can spark community conflict. What is needed is education to let the people live in peace and harmony. The police cannot be nosing around to monitor arguments between individuals to form the basis of picking intelligence. The different tribes should learn to understand each other to live peacefully and let individual arguments and misunderstanding to remain as such. PROPER EDUCATION SHOULD BE INTENSIFIED.
Mr.Kwaku Baako thanks for your interest in our current situation in the Chereponi. To set the record straight the is a peace committee set to talk to both party and that includes some of the Konkomba Chiefs of which I am one of the drivers sending them round the affected communities to talk about the need to allow peace prevail and that Chokosis and Konkomba's are one because we share the same great grand mother's. In my kindy opinion I think some one or a group of persons are somewhere igniting the fire because a chokosi man even if he is under the influence of alcohol will never get up pick a gun and say he is fighting a konkomba. I advise people should stop their media propaganda come down to the scene and know the truth and stop the blame tactics Thank you
