Some politicians are direct beneficiaries of Bawku crisis – Bonaa

A security analyst, Adam Bonaa has accused some politicians of being direct beneficiaries of the crisis in Bawku in the Upper East Region.

The youth of Nalerigu thronged the palace of the Mamprugu Overlord to fight off attempts by the military to arrest the traditional ruler. This followed a failed military operation to arrest the King who enskinned a new Bawku Naba.

The military forces arrived in Nalerigu at midnight with loaded rifles in four armored vehicles and a pickup truck for the operation following a warrant granted by a High Court in Bolgatanga.

The soldiers after the failed attempt retreated.

Commenting on the development on Morning Starr with Francis Abban, Mr. Bonaa indicated that there have been successful moves at Bawku with dialogue but the government failed to continue. 

“If you continue to push security in Bawku or send all your arsenals to Nalerigu, Garu and all those places you can’t stop it. It is not possible. You have to look for a more multifaceted approach to dealing with Bawku. The security element is one, and also catching the bad guys who are profiting and selling weapons. Some politicians are involved, catching them with evidence.

“So weeks ago someone smuggled military uniform and some weapons to Bawku and they were intercepted and sent to the Bawku police station. Everybody has been quiet on this. I don’t know the security official to whom this case was confined, we don’t know what is happening,” Mr. Bonaa stated worriedly.   

The security analyst further stated that if the government allows some serious incidents to be swept under the carpet in Bawku there cannot be peace in the area.

“People will take the law into their own hands, yes there is a chieftaincy issue there. But the truth is that it becomes fertile ground for people to make ends meet and some politicians to stay in power, if you ask me,” Mr. Bonaa disclosed.
