Former Minister for Youth and MP Sports and MP for Walewale, Mustapha Ussif has condemned military brutality of innocent civilians in Walewale, following attacks of buses in the area, linked to the Bawku Chieftaincy crisis.
Following the burning of a vehicle and the alleged killing of two occupants in the Walewale enclave, armed military men reportedly stormed Walewale and its environs and subjected residents to beatings, leading to the hospitalisation of many.
In a post on his Facebook page, the MP for Yagaba-Kubore, a neighbouring constituency of Walewale, condemned both actions; calling the attacks of innocent people on buses as "unacceptable," and the military brutalities of residents as "brutish".
While urging all to remain calm and promote the return of peace, he urged the military and other security agencies to use intelligence to identify those behind the attacks of buses, rather than adopting "a random, brutish mass attacks of innocent civilians." Below is the statement by Mustapha Ussif on his Facebook page: MASS MILITARY BRUTALITIES OF INNOCENT CITIZENS IN WALEWALE AND ITS ENVIRONS It has come to our attention that the military has unleashed brutal attacks on innocent civilians in Walewale and its environs.
