According to the association, over 12 lives have been lost in targeted attacks in the district within the past month, necessitating their call to action.

In a press statement, the chapter’s President, Seidu Awudu, urged the REGSEC and the Interior Ministry to ban motor riding and impose a curfew to address the insecurity situation in the district. 

The association also called on the government and security agencies to intensify efforts to eliminate threats and ensure the safety of all civilians and security personnel in the Binduri district.

The association further called on the security agencies to intensify intelligence gathering and monitor transport routes to prevent the conveyance of weapons and ammunitions to the Bawku enclave.

Binduri is experiencing growing tensions as the protracted Bawku chieftaincy conflict spills over into the area. The conflict, which has been ongoing for years, has resulted in periodic outbreaks of violence, displacements, and economic hardship.

The recent escalation of tensions in Binduri has raised concerns among residents, with many fearing for their safety and livelihoods. The conflict has already resulted in the loss of lives, destruction of properties, and disruption of economic activities in hard-hit Bawku.

As tensions continue to rise in Binduri, residents are calling for urgent action to address the root causes of the conflict and find a lasting solution. The situation highlights the need for effective conflict resolution mechanisms and the importance of addressing the underlying issues driving the conflict.
