In a statement, the Council has requested the government apologizes and furthermore pulls out an explanation through the Ministry of Information about the enskinment of the new Bawku Naba.
The Council explained f the enskinment of chiefs in the kingdom is the sole privilege of the Nayiri and in this way wouldn't endure government's impedance.
"The power of the Nayiri to select and enskin chiefs for the Bawku skin originates before the coloniel era and the founding of modern Ghana. This power of HRM, the Nayiri, to select and enskin a chief for the great people Bawku isn't imparted to any government or group of people," the statement read in part.
Armed troopers were deployed to Nalerigu to arrest the enskinned Bawku Naba and the Overlord of Mamprugu yet they clashed with the town's youth at midnight.

The government, through the Information Ministry, had declared the enskinment of a new Bawku Naba, Naa Alhaji Seidu Abagre at Nalerigu to be illegal.
In the mean time, the Bolgatanga High Court has disavowed a arrest warrant gave before upon a request by one Lieutenant Colonel Ajibadeck Benjamin Baba (Rtd).
The ex-officer had asked the court for the paramount chiefs and his kingmakers' arrest following his enskinment.
Thus, the court altered the earlier ex-part movement, which is currently "thusly revoked under the intrinsic jurisdiction of the Great Court".
