Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said that he received the news of the sudden death of ‘one of the charismatic’ chiefs of the Dagbon Kingdom, Mioŋ-Lana Alhaji Mahamadu Abdulai, on Wednesday August 17.
He said he, together with the Chief of Staff, Madam Akosua Frema Osei Opare, visited the Korle bu hospital to pay their last respects to the late chief and to commiserate with his immediate family.
“I send my condolences to the King, Chiefs and people of Dagbon, to the immediate family of the late chief and the wider Abudu Family of Dagbon on this great loss.
“May Allah accept his soul and grant him paradise,” Dr Bawumia wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday August 18.
He was 48.
The late Mion-Lana died at the 37 military hospital on Wednesday August, 17 after a short illness.
His body was airlifted to Yendi where he was subsequently laid to rest.
The entire Dagbon has been thrown into a state of shock following the news of his passing.
Born in 1974, Mion Lana Mahamudu Abdulai the V was the first son of his father the late Ya-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV.
He was 14 when the father died and was accordingly enskinned as Boling-Lana Mahamadu Abdulai, a day after Ya Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV was buried at the Katini duu (Sacred house).
He was enskinned as Mionlana on March 3, 2019, at the Gbewa Palace in Yendi by Ya-Naa Abukari IV after the performance of the funeral of his late father Ya-Naa Mahamadu Abdulai IV.
Mion-Lana Mahamadu Abdulai V was one of the contenders to ascend the Dagbon Naamship.
