Making the appeal through the Ghana News Agency (GNA), he stated that the lawlessness and cruelty of the Fulani were simply unimaginable and should not be allowed to continue.

It had led to a marked drop in school attendance as many children from the surrounding villages found it unsafe to walk from their places to school.

He indicated that there had been instances where people had been raped, hurt and murdered.

Mr. Osei-Mensah also complained of the destruction of the only stream running through the area by cattle.

He said solution must be found and this should come quickly.
