Drivers at the Kumasi-Bawku bus terminal have recommenced their services following a temporary suspension of loading.
The suspension was in protest against an assault on one of the buses owned by the terminal at Walewale in the North East Region, which occurred last Friday.
The Ghana Police Service and Ghana Armed Forces provide escorts for buses heading to Bawku and other North destinations to ensure safety.
Drivers expressed concern about the threats to their livelihood and fear when transporting passengers in the North.
The terminal’s leadership appreciates the security agencies’ intervention but calls for more effective measures to protect lives.
Spokesperson Anasara George Akolgo appeals for stronger police escorts on the route from Savelugu to Bolga to enhance safety.
The attack in Walewale resulted in one death and several injuries, prompting the GPS to launch a manhunt for the perpetrators.
