NAA DATAA TUWA, which means chief's rival Baobab tree is a famous site in Yendi where any man caught having sexual affair with the Ya-Na's wives were beheaded to pacify the gods of the land. For it was an abomination to any man within the Dagbon traditional area to see the "thighs" of the chief's wive.
At the site are sacrificial stone and a baobab tree where the heads were dumped.
The Baobab tree
The hole where the beheading is done.
