The message of Ahmadiyyat first arrived there through the efforts of the Ghana Jama'at. Around 1950, Mr. Muhammad. Yusuf went to Ghana for education and there was introduced to Ahmadiyyat. He learned that the Imam Mahdi had appeared, and there he took the oath of allegiance and performed the bai'at. Upon his return, he told this to his father, Mr. Muhammad Baru, and his brothers. . . Consequently, they too embraced Ahmadiyyat. The people of their village rose up in opposition so much that for a time they had to leave the village. But by the Grace of Allah, more and more villages converted to Ahmadiyyat, and callers unto Allah arrived from other nations. (Mohammad Idrees. Ahmad, Amir and Missionary-in-Charge, Burkina Faso).
