The Ghana Police Service has entreated the public to disregard reports suggesting that some militiamen are being trained at Bawku in the Upper East Region.

In a post on its Facebook platform, the Service noted that its outfit carried out an investigation after receiving reports of such alleged actions.

Following its probe, the Police indicated that "our investigation has found no evidence of such training in the area or its environs."

The Police are presently on a manhunt for the individual(s) responsible for the misinformation that caused a section of the general public unrest.

"The Police are working to bring the perpetrators to book and the public should be assured that we will get them," its statement noted.

According to the Service, this is the second of such false publications within a week by some unpatriotic individuals intended to create unnecessary alarm and panic among the public.

Earlier this month, a joint inter-security agencies patrol initiative was launched in Bawku to help restore lasting peace and security in the area.

This followed clashes involving personnel of the various security services in Bawku, Paga and Kulungugu and some residents.
