Residents of Gbimsi, near Walewale in the North East Region, are reeling after alleged acts of brutality by military personnel enforcing a curfew in the area.

The latest incident reportedly left one individual with a broken wrist and another nursing a swollen eye.

The victims, who have since received treatment and been discharged, add to a growing list of alleged military abuses—now totaling 10 incidents since the curfew took effect on February 15.

The restrictions cover multiple areas within the West Mamprusi Municipality, including Walewale, Loagri, Kukua, Gbimsi, and Wulugu.

Following a visit to the victims, Dr Tia Mahama Kabiru, the Member of Parliament for the area, condemned the actions of the soldiers and called on the Ministry of the Interior to lift the curfew.

On Saturday evening, fresh reports emerged of armed military personnel allegedly rampaging through Gbimsi, forcibly dragging residents from their homes and assaulting them with mesh wires and rifle butts.

One of the victims, Mohammed Waliu, recounted being attacked around 6:30 p.m. while standing outside his house. He is now suffering from a swollen eye and severe body pain. His father, who witnessed the assault, appealed for government intervention.

Another victim, Daniel Yidana, a 42-year-old community elder, claimed soldiers injured his wrist while he was walking home just 30 minutes before the curfew began.

Samiatu Yussif, a local shop owner, also shared her ordeal, stating that her store was invaded and vandalised by the military.

The curfew, imposed to maintain order in the wake of rising tensions in the municipality, has instead been marked by a series of violent confrontations, with reports of two deaths and several injuries since its enforcement.

Dr Kabiru, reiterating his earlier stance, condemned the military’s alleged excesses and urged residents to remain calm.
