Hundreds of Muslims last Saturday turned out in their numbers to commemorate the birth of Prophet Mohammed at Fadama in Accra.
It was under the theme, “Inter faith harmony; An Instrument of Peace and Global Peace and Stability.”
In attendance were the Vice President, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and former President, John Dramani Mahama.
The faithful of all ages filled the New Fadama Sheikh Sharubutu Astro Turf Park as others had to occupy the frontage of the New Fadama Basic ‘3’ School buildings to witness the event.
The over 10-hour programme which started at 8pm till Sunday dawn and led by the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr Usman Nuhu Sharubutu, attracted several Muslim scholars, politicians, Muslim chiefs and their representatives from other parts of the country.
The occasion was used to extol the virtues of Prophet Mohammed as poems and songs were sang to honour the founder of Islamic, one of the three Abrahamic religions.
Benevolent and spirited individuals provided free food and hot cups of tea while others served grilled meat and chicken to keep the participants awake as business-minded individuals also displayed assorted Muslim regalia, the Quran and other Holy items for sale.
In a speech read on his behalf, Dr Sharubutu urged factions in the Bawku conflict to use dialogue to resolve their differences instead of resorting to arms.
According to him, the people had suffered enough and the time had come to smoke the peace pipe and end the conflict that had brought untold hardship to their own people.
“Prophet Mohammed is a man of peace and a great leader who dispenses justice irrespective of one’s religion; that is why I am praying for peace in other parts of the world. Just give peace a chance and let life return to normalcy,” he added.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
