We’re working to bring the security situation in Bawku under control – Police, Militay
The Police and the Ghana Armed Forces have assured the public that they are working to bring the security situation in Bawku, its surrounding areas, and along the Bolgatanga – Walewale – Tamale highway, under control.
Aside the Police and Military deployment in Bawku and its environs, a statement issued by the Police said, there is also a joint Police and Military deployment along the Bolgatanga-Walewale- Tamale highway to ensure security and manage vehicular traffic.
Two people were killed, and several others injured in renewed violence in Bawku following a chieftaincy-related gun battle.
The longstanding chieftaincy conflict, which had recently appeared to calm, escalated after the return of a rival chief to the area.
Tensions flared upon his return, reigniting the dispute and resulting in gunfire exchanges on the night of Saturday, October 26.
