President John Dramani Mahama has taken steps to restore calm in the Sawla-Bole area of the Savannah Region after renewed clashes between the Gonja and Brifor communities.
Returning from a state visit to Singapore, the President was briefed by the National Security Coordinator and the Minister for the Interior on the situation.
