Justice Atuguba was speaking at a reception organized by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission of Ghana to honour Sir Dr Ifikar Ahmad Ayaz, the Consul General of Tuvalu in London, who was the Mission’s Keynote Speaker at its maiden Peace Conference.

The Peace Conference was the first of its kind to be organized by the Ahmadiyya on the soil of the African continent.

He urged Ghanaians Muslims to put the fear of Allah in all their undertakings to promote peace in all their endeavours.

Justice Atuguba also urged Muslims to be peaceful and just with other faith based religions to promote inter-faith dialogue.
