Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has ordered the immediate closure of courts in the Upper East Region due to the escalating conflict in Bawku.
This decision comes in response to safety and security concerns raised by court staff and judges.
The closure will remain in effect until further notice.
In a statement issued on October 29, Judicial Service Secretary Justice Cyra Pamela Koranteng urged registrars to secure all court assets and advised staff to prioritize their safety.
