The Minister for the Interior has renewed the curfew hours imposed on Bawku Municipality and its environs in the Upper East Region, effective Monday, February 17, 2025. The new curfew hours are from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am.
This decision comes as part of the government’s efforts to maintain peace and order in the area, which has experienced challenges and disturbances in recent times. The government is calling on Chiefs, Elders, Opinion Leaders, Youth, and people of the area to exercise restraint and use non-violent means to resolve their differences.
It’s worth noting that this is not the first time a curfew has been imposed on Bawku. In January 2024, the Minister for the Interior renewed the curfew hours, and in March 2024, the curfew hours were reviewed from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am to 8:00 pm to 5:00 am.
