The Alliance for Gban Development (AGD), a community-based organization in the mining enclave of Gban in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region, has condemned a recent violent attack on police patrol officers and renewed its urgent call for improved and lasting security measures in the area.
The group's statement follows a disturbing incident on the night of June 13, 2025, when four police officers on patrol were ambushed by unidentified gunmen.
Three officers sustained gunshot wounds and were rushed to a private health facility in Bolgatanga after being rescued by reinforcements.
The AGD described the attack as "life-threatening" and a tragic validation of its earlier warnings about growing insecurity in the area, which were raised during a press conference on June 7, 2025.
