Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Gunmen have attacked a bus carrying students of the Presbyterian Nurses Training College, Bawku.<\/b><\/p>\n

This occurred near Binduri in the Upper East region on Friday, January 19.<\/p>\n

Bawku Central Member of Parliament Mahama Ayariga confirmedON January 20.<\/p>\n

Mr Ayariga said \u201cIt has been confirmed that such an incident happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report I got is that the injuries are gunshot related injuries, we will ascertain the full details later.\u201d<\/p>\n

A number of students who were injured due to the attack have been rushed to the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Unknown gunmen earlier fired into a group of people at the community center in Bawku on Wednesday, January 17, resulting in the death of two persons, while four others were injured.<\/p>\n

Mr Mahama Ayariga described the incident as dastardly and unacceptable.<\/p>\n

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

Commenting on this matter earlier on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 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
