A high-level meeting was held at the Ministry of Defence to discuss the ongoing dispute in Bawku. Dr. Edward Omane Boamah met with Interior Minister Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, the Chief of the Defence Staff, Majority Leader Hon. Mahama Ayariga, and other Members of Parliament to review the current security situation.
The meeting reaffirmed the government’s commitment to resolving the conflict through traditional means, as assured by President John Dramani Mahama. The comprehensive roadmap to peace will be followed, with a focus on restoring stability to Bawku and surrounding communities.
This effort is part of the government’s ongoing initiatives to address the dispute in Bawku. Previously, the Upper East Regional Minister, Hon. Hafiz Bin Salih, and the General Officer Commanding (GOC) Northern Command, Brigadier General Frank Nartey Tei, visited Bawku to resolve a misunderstanding between military and prison personnel.
The government remains determined to support the cause of peace and stability in Bawku, and the meeting at the Ministry of Defence marked a significant step towards achieving this goal.
