Minister for Defence, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to restoring peace and stability across the country, particularly in conflict-prone areas like Bawku.
His assurance comes in the wake of renewed tensions in Bawku and its surrounding communities, which have led to the imposition of a curfew and the evacuation of students for their safety.
The Ministry for the Interior, acting on the advice of the North East Regional Security Council, imposed the curfew on Nalerigu Township and surrounding areas effective Sunday, July 27, 2025.
Under the directive, residents must remain indoors from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. until further notice.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, July 29, Dr. Boamah revealed that the government is taking critical steps to retool the Ghana Armed Forces to strengthen internal security and protect national sovereignty.
“We’re taking additional significant steps to re-tool the Ghana Armed Forces, ensuring internal peace and security everywhere and safeguarding our territories,” he stated.
Dr. Boamah expressed optimism that the Bawku conflict would soon be resolved, emphasizing the Mahama-led government’s broader vision under the Reset Ghana agenda.
“Lasting peace shall surely return to Bawku and all affected areas. Let’s collaborate and build a safer, stronger Ghana together!,” he concluded.
