President John Dramani Mahama has strongly condemned the resurgence of violence in Bawku and affirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to restoring peace in the region.
Speaking at the Ghana Military Academy’s Graduation Parade on Friday, April 11, 2025, he announced that the peace process to restoring peace in Bawku enclave, under the leadership of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is set to resume next week.
“The Ghana Armed Forces is engaged in several threats to maintain peace and security in our nation. One major flash point is the Bawku area. Only two days ago, a situation that took place in the market triggered an unfortunate loss of life and criminal vandalism of property. I wish to emphasise that nobody gains from this conflict and insecurities,” he said.
He noted that the mediation process initiated by the Asantehene, which brought all key stakeholders together to find lasting solution to the conflict remains the best route.
“We have triggered the Otumfuo mediation process, which has all the stakeholders participate in discussions in Kumasi to ensure a roadmap towards peace. I am assured by the Asantehene that the process will resume next week when he returns from his brief visit abroad,” he stated.
On Thursday, April 10, violent clashes between the police and some youth, reportedly resulted in deaths and injuries. The private residence of Member of Parliament Mahama Ayariga was also allegedly set ablaze during the chaos.
