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."
The president, in his remarks, said that he was going to send a delegation to meet the President of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore, to find out exactly what happened.
