He was born in 1974 and became Boling-Lana at the age of 14, a day after his father was laid to rest .
He was then made to stay indoors for over 30 years without seeing daylight , until it was time for him to be enskined as the paramount chief of Mion traditional council .
Nyab Mion Lana was enskinned as Mion Lana on March 3, 2019.
The body of the prominent chief has since been airlifted to Dagbon for preparations for his burial by the Dagbon customs and traditions.
Hundreds of people from Dagbon have been trooping to the Mion palace to sympathize and mourn with the bereaved family.
