The Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, appealed to President John Mahama to address attacks on Egg traders who travel to Burkina Faso for trade.
The Dormaahene said Burkinabes recently seized and destroyed several hundred crates of eggs belonging to Ghanaian traders valued at millions of cedis.
The two met during the president’s ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ on Tuesday, March 18, 2026.
The paramount chief asked Mahama to intervene in the matter because the majority of his subjects depend on the trade of eggs.
“His Excellency, eggs are our main trading commodity in Dormaa. If we are unable to take our eggs to market or don’t sell them, we won’t have food. Eggs take care of a majority of us.”
“Something has happened in our egg trade. His Excellency, we trade with the people of Burkina; we sell some of our eggs to them. Recently, we took some of our eggs to Burkina via Paga. They took all our eggs without any provocation and destroyed them.”
