The overlord of Mamprugu and President of the North East Regional House of Chiefs, Naa Bohagu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga is urging the government to lift the curfew imposed on Walewale and its surrounding areas in the West Mamprusi Municipality.
A delegation led by Mba-Taarana in making the demand reminded the government of its promise through the Regional Minister, Ibrahim Tia to remove the curfew in five days if nothing untoward happens.
The curfew, imposed due to security concerns along the Bolgatanga - Walewale Highway, has had devastating effects on the local community, bringing socio-economic activities to a grinding halt.
Residents say they are facing immense hardship, and schoolchildren in Kukua and Loagri have been forced to abandon their studies due to the presence of armed soldiers.
