The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has officially announced a shift from peacekeeping to peace enforcement operations in Bawku and its surrounding areas, following a directive from President John Dramani Mahama. "This transition to peace enforcement has become necessary due to the activities of armed elements that have intermittently resulted in violence, reprisal attacks and innocent deaths," said Captain V.A.
Arhin, Acting Director General of Public Relations for GAF, in a press release dated July 29, 2025.
According to the military, this new approach will involve "robust and purposeful operations that would enhance community protection, while ensuring sanity returns to affected areas." The statement stressed that "the military will use all necessary force to restore law and order during its operations and call on all citizens to adhere to law and order including all agreed restrictions during the period." GAF also reminded residents of Bawku, Binduri, Nalerigu, and Zebilla that the renewed curfew from 2:00 a.m.
to 6:00 a.m. "will be enforced to the letter." Appealing for public cooperation, GAF warned that "any attempt at distracting the operations and activities of the force in place including attack on the security personnel will be met with appropriate response." Captain Arhin assured that the military remains "firmly committed and in readiness to execute its constitutional mandate to ensure that the country is peaceful and its citizens are safe."
