sanja nanja ban

Former National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s Member of Parliament for Atebubu-Amantin Constituency in the Bono East Region, Sanja Nanja, has been cautioned against engaging in any political activity in the area, lest he dies in the hands of the gods.

The alert follows a ban placed on the former MP by the traditional authorities from engaging in any social or political activity as well as any events organised within the Atebubu Traditional Area.

According to the Council, their decision stems from the former MP’s use of offensive words against the queen mother of the area, Nana Afiah Donyina II for which he has refused to apologize.
