Jinapor has denied the allegations made against him in the matter.

Why was Jinapor barred?

On July 21, Jinapor was barred from entering any palace in Gonjaland over claims of insubordination and disrespect.

The Yagbonwura said any Gonja paramount chief who allows the Damongo MP into its court would face some sanctions.

Some West Gonja chiefs had accused the minister of meddling in their chieftaincy affairs.

A Gonja youth group has also accused him of disrespecting the Yagbonwura and undermining his authority.

The group believes that if Jinapor continues on his current path, his actions could threaten the peace and unity in Gonjaland.

This prompted the forming of a seven-member government delegation to visit Ndewura Sumali Jakpa Palace to plead on Jinapor's behalf.
