The Overlord of Mamprugu, Naa Bohagu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga, has called on the Government of Ghana to take urgent and decisive action to protect communities along the Bolgatanga-Bawku-Poulimakom corridor, as security concerns in the region continue to escalate.

In a strongly worded statement read on his behalf at a presser, the Overlord described Mamprugu as a realm of peace and honour but warned that the deteriorating situation in Bawku threatens that stability.

He stressed the need for swift intervention to safeguard residents and prevent further violence.

The Overlord emphasised that efforts to restore Bawku as a hub of commerce and harmony must also address the growing threat of terrorist activities within the Binduri, Pusiga, Garu, and Bawku West districts.

He cautioned that these destabilising forces pose a serious risk to the security of the entire northern corridor and must be dealt with effectively.
