The Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tamaklo, has expressed deep concern over the displacement of women and children in Bawku following a deadly armed conflict.
He emphasized that the conflict has hindered children from accessing education in those communities.
Speaking on the Big Issue on TV3, Edudzi Tamaklo stated, "The situation there is extremely delicate, and for me, the greater pain I have is the displacement of women and children. It has been extremely difficult for children within those communities to even have proper education now by reason of this armed conflict."
Former Member of Parliament for Okaikwei North, Fuseini Issah, also addressed the issue, urging stakeholders to bring the feuding parties together for an amicable resolution. He emphasized the prolonged nature of the conflict, resulting in the loss of innocent lives.
Former President John Dramani Mahama called for close collaboration between the military and the police to provide security in Bawku. Mahama expressed sadness and disturbance over recent shootings in the municipality and the killing of three men. He called for the military to work hand in hand with the police to ensure safety and security.
The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) explained the circumstances surrounding the neutralization of three persons who fired at its troops in Bawku. The GAF emphasized the need for peaceful resolution and cautioned against direct armed confrontation with the military.
Bawku recently experienced an incident where unknown gunmen fired into a group of people, resulting in fatalities and injuries.
The Member of Parliament for Bawku, Mahama Ayariga, condemned the incident, urging law enforcement to apprehend and deal with the perpetrators.
The Minister for the Interior renewed the curfew hours in Bawku Municipality and its environs, emphasizing the importance of using non-violent means to address the challenges and calling for restraint from the community members.
