Bawku Central MP Mahama Ayariga spoke up about the recent violence between locals and security forces. The clash killed one person and hurt several others, including security officers. Someone allegedly tried to burn down the MP's house during the trouble. Ayariga promised the NDC government under President John Dramani Mahama will keep working for peace in the area. He sent condolences to families affected and asked everyone to support the peace process led by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The lawmaker told Bawku residents he remains firm about solving the conflict through Ghana's legal system. He stated his position hasn't changed over the years. Ayariga agrees with the Kusaug youth that outsiders can't claim chief status in Bawku. He leaves that specific matter to Otumfuo but warns law officers to act carefully. The Majority Leader asked locals to maintain good relations with police to protect lives. Police Inspector-General Christian Tetteh Yohuno visited the troubled town Thursday to check the situation firsthand.
