The Kusaug Traditional Council, led by the Bawku Naba, Zug-Raan Asigri Abugrago Azoka lI says it sincerely appreciates the visit of the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, acknowledging his commitment to investigating the incident that led to one fatality and several injuries. The gesture, according to Zugrana, demonstrates the IGP’s dedication to transparency and accountability, aligning with the council’s values of preserving community identity and promoting development.
In a statement signed by the secretary to the Overlord, Mr. David Adoliba, the twenty-five divisional chiefs of the Kusaug area called on the IGP to instruct his men to return to their duty post.
“After the IGP left, the divisional chiefs of the Kusaug Traditional Council also met, and they appreciated the timely intervention of the IGP. The IGP was able to win the trust of the people back more especially the youth. And so we are calling on the IGP to equally direct the divisional command to bring back their men. It is very dangerous to have such a stretch without police presence.” Mr. Adoliba pleaded.
Mr. Adoliba further stated that “the Kusaug Traditional Council is committed to promoting peace and stability in Bawku, echoing the sentiments of the Zug-Rana, who has consistently called for peace and unity in the area. Dialogue and cooperation are essential in resolving conflicts and achieving lasting peace, urging the youth to remain calm, avoid destructive actions, and trust the justice system.”
The Kusaug Traditional Council says it remains committed to collaborating with security agencies and other stakeholders, working tirelessly to promote peace and security in Bawku. They are calling on all parties to prioritize peace and unity, echoing the Inspector General of Police’s vision on collective action and dialogue during his recent visit to Bawku.
