The Larabanga mosque is one of the oldest mosques in West Africa and is the oldest mosque in Ghana. Story of the Larabanga Mosque
THE STORY OF LARABANGA The arrival of the first Kamaras to Ghana The leader of the Gonjas, Ndewura Jakpa, called the first Kamaras to Ghana because he was attempting to conquer the vast lands but was facing great difficulties. Ibrahim and another Kamara, by the name of Fatawu Murkpe, were called to spiritually assist Ndewura Jakpa in his fight. Specifically, Ndewura Hakpa was having trouble conquering Kango, an ancient town in what is present day Cote de Ivoire, and so Ibrahim and Fatawu Murkpe wrote some charms which allowed the Gonjas to conquer Kango. This made the Gonjas so happy with the Kamaras that they were given a special place in Gonja administration. Today, Kamaras continue to play a special religious role in Gonja administration where they are often called to assist the Gonjas as administrators of Islamic law, prayer leaders and conflict mediators. Furthermore, even today, when the Gonjas greet the Kamara people they add "Kongote" to their greeting which means 'Kango is finished,' to refer to the Kamara's role in the conquest of Kango.
