Nakpa

Nakpa lies in the Dagbon country near Savelugu, north of Tamale. Savelugu is one of the important chiefly seats of the Dagbamba, whose ruler at Yendi is known as the Yaa-Naa. Alongside Karaga and Mion, its chieftaincy forms one of the three principal seats from which a prince may be chosen to rule Dagbon. The seat at Voggo in turn stands below Savelugu in this hierarchy, linking local authority to the wider kingdom.
