The Government has imposed a strict curfew on Bawku in response to escalating violence that has claimed at least eight lives and raised serious concerns over public safety.
The curfew, effective from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM daily, was announced in a statement by the Ministry of Interior on October 28, 2024, following an emergency National Security meeting chaired by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The unrest stems from the October 24 return of Mr.
Seidu Abagre to Bawku, who was controversially enskinned as Bawku Naba in February 2023.
