Military personnel have allegedly assaulted residents of Gbimsi, near Walewale in the North East Region, leaving one person with a fractured wrist and another with a swollen eye.

The attack reportedly happened as soldiers enforced a curfew in the area. The victims have received medical attention and been discharged. This marks the tenth reported case of alleged military brutality within a week of the curfew being imposed.

Member of Parliament for the area, Dr. Tia Mahama Kabiru, strongly criticized the military’s conduct after visiting the affected individuals. He renewed his call on the Ministry of the Interior to urgently lift the curfew to ease the suffering of his constituents.

On Saturday evening, another round of alleged military aggression was reported in Gbimsi, where armed soldiers stormed homes, dragging people out and beating them with metal wires and gun butts.

One of the victims, Mohammed Waliu, was reportedly attacked around 6:30 p.m. outside his house. He sustained a swollen eye and multiple body injuries. His father, who witnessed the ordeal, urged the government to probe the soldiers’ actions, cautioning that such incidents could destabilize the region.

Another victim, Daniel Yidana, aged 42, said he suffered a wrist injury after being assaulted by soldiers while returning home just half an hour before the curfew started. Meanwhile, Samiatu Yussif alleged that troops ransacked her shop, causing damage, and that she narrowly escaped physical harm after pleading with them.

Since the curfew was imposed on February 15 in parts of the West Mamprusi Municipality—covering Walewale, Loagri, Kukua, Gbimsi, and Wulugu—reports of military brutality have become frequent, with two fatalities and multiple injuries recorded.

The latest assault in Gbimsi follows previous alleged attacks in Kukuazugu and Nayilifong, Walewale, bringing the total number of reported cases to ten.

Dr. Kabiru reiterated his disapproval of the soldiers’ conduct and called on residents to remain calm. He assured them that high-level efforts were underway to restore their rights and emphasized the immediate need to lift the curfew.
