Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Bawku Central lawmaker, Mahama Ayariga, has said it is unfortunate that the people of Bawku continue to experience shooting incidents, killing a lot of people and also destroying several properties. <\/b><\/p>\n

He condemned the action and called on law enforcement agencies to act immediately to arrest and deal with the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

His comments come on the heels of unknown gunmen who fired into a group of people at the community center on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

This ended in the death of two persons, while four others were injured.<\/p>\n

Commenting on this matter on Thursday, January 19 with Alfred Ocansey, Mr Ayariga said \u201cIt is unfortunate that we continue to experience this situation that has caused so many lives to be lost, so many people to be injured and hospitalized and so much property to be lost in Bawku central constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201c…those who were killed yesterday, that was dastardly, that was unacceptable and the perpetrators must be searched for by the law enforcement agencies and dealt with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week the Minister for the Interior, by Executive Instrument, renewed the curfew hours imposed on Bawku Municipality and its environs in the Upper East Region from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am effective Friday, January 12, 2024.<\/p>\n

The government called on Chiefs, Elders, Opinion Leaders, Youth and people of the area to exercise restraint in the face of the challenges confronting them as well as to use non-violent means to channel their energies into ensuring peace.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there is a total ban on all persons in the afore-mentioned communities and their environs from carrying arms, ammunition or any offensive weapon and any persons found with any arms or ammunition will be arrested and prosecuted.<\/p>\n
