The development of every community depends largely on unity between the indigenes and settlers.
In this light, Nii Otiboh Aplaku Head of the Nii Narteh Aplaku Family, has admonished settlers of Aplaku to continue living peacefully in the community to ensure speedy development of the town.
He said the peaceful co-existent of foreigners and natives had always ensured that the crime rate of youthful violence is reduced to the barest minimum.
Nii Otiboh Aplaku, gave the admonishing last Sunday, when the new Zongo Zabrama Chief (Sari) for Aplaku near Bortianor in the Ga South Municipality, Adama Amani, was formally introduced to him at his house.
He said the new Zabrama chief, would play a major role in the mobilization of his community youth as his predecessors did decades ago to give the youth employable skills.
Nii Otiboh Aplaku also admonished him to remain focused and avoid the temptations of being embroiled in chieftaincy and land disputes that was raging in the area.
He said by doing that Adama Amani would remain pure with his reputation intact among his subject as a Zongo Sabrama chief that would not be forgotten quickly.
Adama Amani, later presented customary drinks and a ram and an undisclosed amount of money to Nii Otiboh Aplaku as customs demands.
The Aplaku Zongo Zambra chief, Adama Amani in an interview said he was born in Ghana in 1968.
He said his great grand fathers migrated from Sokodaloga, Zambrama Colte District in Niger, near Libya border, to Kumasi about two centuries ago.
He said his forebears later migrated to Aplaku over eight decades ago, and had always been law abiding citizens who contributed to the growth and success of Ghana and assured that he would mobilize his people for the development of Aplaku.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified that former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta remains the subject of criminal proceedings in Ghana and is still wanted under a valid arrest warrant issued by the High Court in Accra.
In a public notice, the OSP said it had taken note of a transcript of a hearing from a United States immigration court that has been circulated by some media organisations.
According to the office, the document has been interpreted by some to suggest that Mr. Ofori-Atta has not been credibly charged or linked to any wrongdoing in Ghana.
The OSP rejected that interpretation, explaining that it is not involved in Mr. Ofori-Atta’s immigration proceedings in the United States.
It said its involvement relates only to extradition proceedings, which are being handled through Ghana’s Attorney-General as the country’s central authority.
According to the OSP, the extradition documents are not before the US immigration court and the court has no authority to determine whether the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta are credible.
“The credibility or otherwise of the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta is a matter for determination by the courts in Ghana,” the OSP stated.
The office explained that there are three separate legal proceedings involving the former minister.
These include the immigration proceedings in the United States concerning his immigration status, extradition proceedings to determine whether he should be returned to Ghana, and the criminal case before the High Court in Accra involving corruption and corruption-related offences.
The OSP reiterated that Mr. Ofori-Atta remains before the High Court in Accra as an accused person and that a valid warrant has been issued for his arrest.
It maintained that he remains a fugitive from justice in Ghana and is required to appear before the High Court to answer the charges against him.
The Special Prosecutor also stressed that the criminal proceedings in Ghana would continue in accordance with the law and the directives of the High Court, whether or not Mr. Ofori-Atta is physically present in the country.
