President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to provide armed escort and protection for vehicles operating within the Bawku area.

Speaking during his ‘Thank You Tour’ of the North East Region, on Friday, June 13, Mahama stressed the need for enhanced military presence to ensure the safety of residents as processes are ongoing to restore calm in the area.
“Peace is not negotiable. As commander-in-chief, I have instructed the Armed Forces to provide armed escort and protection to all vehicles travelling within the Bawku area. And also along the Walewale-Bolgatanga corridor.”
