The Interior Ministry has announced that, on the advice of the Upper East Regional Security Council and by executive instrument, it has reviewed the curfew on Bawku and its environs.
A statement announcing the review said it starts at exactly 2:00 pm and ends at 6:00 am each day.
The curfew is effective. Sunday, July 27, 2025, until further notice.
The government used the opportunity to call on the Chiefs, Elders, Opinion Leaders, Youth and people of the area to exercise restraint in the face of the challenges confronting them, as well as to use non-violent means to channel their energies into ensuring peace.
Meanwhile, there is a total ban on all persons in the Bawku Municipality and its environs from carrying arms, ammunition or any offensive weapons and any persons found with any arms or ammunition will be arrested and prosecuted.
This comes after a series of targeted killings in the Ashanti Region and reports of a student who was dragged from his dormitory and shot by some assailants who scaled the school’s wall and entered the campus.
