The National Peace Council assures Ghanaians of its unwavering commitment to address and potentially bring an end to the Bawku conflict.<\/strong><\/p>\n Chairman Rev. Dr. Ernest Adu Gyamfi emphasizes ongoing engagements despite the conflict\u2019s resurgence, aiming for a peaceful resolution.<\/p>\n \u201cThe situation is becoming much more difficult but on our part, we have not given up. The Otumfuo committee is actively working. The Inter-Ethnic committee is also working and we hope that given a little bit more time, there might be some way to resolve the conflict,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He was speaking on January 19, 2024, on JoyFM\u2019s Top Story.<\/p>\n In order to motivate the security personnel to give their all in resolving the conflict, Rev. Dr. Gyamfi urged the public to support them rather than scrutinize them.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to support the military and the police to bring stability to the area. Sometimes, I think that an attack on the military and the police is wrong because if we lose them, then we don\u2019t have anybody there to help us,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n His remarks come in the wake of the rekindled Bawku conflict, resulting in the loss of five lives within the past 48 hours.<\/p>\n Amidst this tragic situation, another distressing incident unfolded as a bus, transporting around 45 students from the Presbyterian Nurses Training College in Bawku, fell prey to an ambush by two armed individuals on motorcycles near Binduri in the Upper East region on Friday.<\/p>\n Several students sustained injuries during the attack and were promptly rushed to the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital for medical attention.<\/p>\n Reports from JoyNews indicate that the students, who had recently concluded their term, were en route to Bolgatanga when the two assailants on motorbikes launched the ambush.<\/p>\n
