About
Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani II (1945–2002), king of Dagombas, overlord of Dagbon and victim of murder at Yendi, the capital of the Dagomba traditional area and Kingdom of Dagbon, was born in August 1945 at Sagnarigu, a suburb of Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana. Yakubu II, as was his skin name was the ruler of the Kingdom of Dagbon from May 31, 1974 until he was killed on March 27, 2002 by supporters of Abudu Royal Family when clashes broke out between the two feuding Gates of Dagbon Kingship, the other being the Andani Royal Family. For 600 years the Abudu and Andani clans, named after two sons of the ancient Dagbon king Ya Naa Yakubu I, cordially rotated control of the kingdom centered in Yendi, 330 miles (530 kilometers) north of Accra, the capital of Ghana. As of January 2014, a regent has acted as seignior of the kingdom (installed 2006) until a new ruler is chosen to occupy the revered Lion Skins of Yendi.
