The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) Joint Task Force in Bawku has launched a major intelligence-led cordon and search operation aimed at flushing out armed bandits and retrieving illegal weapons in the conflict-hit municipality.
The operation, which took place on Friday, August 1, was led by Taskforce Commander Colonel Rosslyn Foli Atiogbe, alongside Lieutenant Colonel Kakra Sasu-Antwi, Commander Rear of the 11 Mechanized Battalion, and other senior officers.
According to the military, the operation was carefully coordinated based on actionable intelligence targeting suspected hideouts of criminal elements believed to be behind recent violence in the area.
This latest action comes in response to the renewed escalation of conflict in Bawku, which recently resulted in the tragic killing of three Senior High School students.
