In a statement, Kuuku urged the family to prioritize peace over personal grievances, highlighting the role of social media in amplifying divisions. His message resonated with many, as the situation has drawn national attention and raised questions about the balance between tradition and modernity in Ghanaian society. (yen.com.gh)
