Murder of an African King: Ya-Na Yakubu II
On March 27, 2002, Ya-Na, the Dagomba King of the Republic of Ghana, was murdered. More than five years after the guresome killing, the government has yet to arrest the murderers.
Author Ibrahim Mahama, himself a member of the royal family and a practising attorney, escaped into exile and now delivers a searing examination of the mysterious death of Ya-Naa as well as taking a closer look at the inner workings of his own country.
In Murder of an African King: Ya-Na Yakubu II, Mr. Mahama focuses on the two branches of the royal family — the Abudu Family and the Andani Family — and how Dagbon was ruled within the confines of a rotational succession system. Then, several years ago, the Abudu Family set in motion a series of actions designed to eliminate the rotational system in favour of one that would have a member of their family rule for an indeterminate time. Naturally, this was not acceptable to the members of the Andani Family.
Murder of an African King carefully traces the events leading up to the horrific violence of March 27, 2002 and its aftermath. It is deemed a landmark event in the history of Ghana. Mr. Mahama’s narrative is a compelling, detailed and passionate account of a major historical event that remains unsolved.

Musing about the Catholic Social Doctrine (Hardcover)
Musings about the Catholic Social Doctrine takes a standpoint that challenges Catholics in particular and Christians in particular and Christians in general to accept that temporal or mundane matters in all spheres of human endeavor have a moral dimension founded on Gods law. For the author, the Christian faithful ought to know this divine precept so that they can engage themselves in a proper way as they live through the social reality.
The church’s teaching in this area of our humanity is what has been termed “Catholic Social Teaching (Doctrine)”. The purpose of this teaching is to present to human beings, as Javier Hervana maintains, “God’s plan for social reality…(to) enlighten our minds with truth and guides us in building up the earthly city.”
He notes passionately that it is through the knowledge of the Catholic Social Teaching that Christian charity can be most effectively practised.
