    National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer and former president, John Dramani Mahama, has spoken on the recent disturbance in the Bawku Municipality which has claimed the lives of three young men.

    On Friday, January 19, reports stated that a group of approximately fifteen soldiers had captured some young men at Sabongari, taken them to an unidentified place, tortured and killed them.

    Following this reportage, the Ghana Armed Forces released a statement to deny reports of civilians being killed in Bawku.

    The military responded to the allegations and denied them, reiterating that it is dedicated to responsibility, openness, and following the law.

    John Mahama took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to express his dissatisfaction with the recent development in the Bawku Municipality involving the Ghana Armed Forces as well.

    He wrote, “I am deeply saddened and disturbed by recent developments in the Bawku municipality and the killing of three men, as confirmed by soldiers from the Ghana Armed Forces.”

    Mr. Mahama called on the military to work together with the Police as one team to provide peace, safety and security in the Bawku municipality and across the nation.
