Bawku Central MP Mahama Ayariga vehemently condemns the recent attack on a truck carrying traders from Bawku to Binduri, leading to the tragic death of around seven individuals and injuries to others.
In a statement issued on Monday, January 22, Ayariga called on the Ghana Police Service to swiftly initiate investigations, apprehend the perpetrators, and ensure their prosecution.
Emphasizing that the occurrence of “senseless violence” in the region is unacceptable, he urged concerted efforts to put an end to such acts.
“Let me once again condemn this attack on innocent men and women going about their businesses. The police must do whatever it takes to apprehend the perpetrators of this dastardly act.”
“I once again appeal to all sides in the Bawku conflict to lay down their arms and let us end this senseless violence,” an excerpt of his statement said.
On the edge of Binduri, an unknown assailant ambushed and opened fire on a truck. The attack occurred on Monday, January 22, while the truck was traveling to the Atuba market.
After the town had been relatively quiet for 48 hours, this incident happened. There are four females and two males among the victims.
