Residents of Bawku urged to exercise restraint

12-08-2011
The Bawku Municipal Security Council has condemned the attack on few Mamprusi farmers in their farm at Bawku yesterday. Victims according to security officials sustained multiple cutlass wounds and were rushed to the Bawku Hospital and subsequently referred to the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital for further treatment. The Municipal Chief Executive, Musa Abdullai who disclosed this to Radio Ghana said MUSEC is worried about the dastardly act describing it as barbaric as it is unwarranted. The perpetrators of the act, he assured would be apprehended and be made to face the full rigours of the law. He said the Bawku Naba has since the beginning of the farming season warn that all persons should be permitted to farm on land which had been bequeath to their ancestors in the past. He had advice that anyone who had any complain or problem with land ownership should resort to the appropriate authorities for redress. This, he observed had led to fewer conflicts in the season. Mr. Abdullai on behalf of MUSEC thanked all peace loving and law abiding citizens of Bawku for their matured manner they have behaved so far and further appealed to them to help sustain the current peace. Meanwhile, MUSEC has assured the general public that the security agencies would pursue the perpetrators of the cowardly act who are bent on reversing the progress made so far in order to advance the cause of peace in the municipality. MUSEC is also appealing to the people of Bawku to remain calm while the security agencies handle the case.
