The Ghana Armed Forces has launched a major operation to restore peace and security in Bawku, Nalerigu, and surrounding areas. The military began its intensified efforts on Tuesday, July 29, deploying ground and aerial units to quell unrest.
Residents are urged to cooperate fully with security directives, particularly the revised curfew from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., adjusted from the previous 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. schedule. The GAF emphasizes its commitment to restoring peace and stability in the region.
“The Ghana Armed Forces remains fully committed to its mission to restore peace and stability in Bawku, Nalerigu and surrounding towns and calls on all stakeholders to support and collaborate towards its successful accomplishment,” the statement read.
Additionally, the Armed Forces warns against spreading outdated military footage, which can fuel misinformation and tension. “The Armed Forces wishes to appeal to all individuals, including bloggers, content creators and media personnel, to refrain from posting previous military footage and linking them to the current operations — an act that constitutes disinformation and mal-information. Such behaviour undermines the peace efforts and fuels unnecessary tension.”
