Mamprugu Youth Association condemns killing of soldier in Bawku
The Mamprugu Youth Association has condemned the killing of a soldier in Bawku and urged the government to intensify security efforts to restore peace and protect lives.
The Bawku chapter of the Mamprugu Youth Association has strongly condemned the killing of a soldier on Monday, March 17, 2025.
The military warrant officer, who was part of the peacekeeping troops in the area, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen near a military buffer zone on Monday morning.
In a statement, the chapter’s President, Seidu Awudu, extended condolences to the Ghana Armed Forces and the family of the deceased soldier.
He lamented the worsening security situation in Bawku and called on the government and security forces to intensify efforts to eliminate threats and ensure the safety of both residents and security personnel.
“These relentless attacks on security personnel are unacceptable and threaten peace, security, and stability in the Bawku area. We call on the relevant authorities to take swift and decisive action to bring the perpetrators to justice and restore law and order,” the statement read.
The killing has further raised concerns about security in Bawku, which has witnessed intermittent violence since October 2024.
The association views its call for increased security measures as a necessary step to prevent further violence and protect innocent civilians and security personnel.
The association’s plea is expected to prompt a response from the government and security forces as they work to address the escalating security challenges in the area.
