Allegations of Security Personnel Involvement in Bawku-Bolga Highway Attack: A Call for Action
The rising tension in Bawku continues to take disturbing turns as allegations surface implicating certain security personnel in violent attacks within the area. The recent attack on the Bawku-Bolga highway, which resulted in the death of a driver and the burning of a passenger vehicle to ashes, has sparked outrage and demands for accountability.
Among those accused are individuals identified as prison officers and members of local associations. AYARGA Seidu, a prison officer stationed at Bawku Prisons, has been accused of participating in the deadly highway attack. Eyewitness accounts and reports claim that he has also been seen on multiple occasions on the battlefield, allegedly aligning with Kusasi armed groups in violent confrontations.
Another individual named in the accusations is ANABA Frank, reportedly a Kusasi from Missiga-Bawku and a member of the Kusaug Youth Movement and Kusaug Youth Association. Frank is alleged to have actively participated in attacks led by Kusasi bandits. His frequent presence at battlefronts, as claimed by sources, has raised concerns about his alignment with groups fueling the unrest in Bawku.
Additionally, ANENIBA Kennedy, also stationed at Bawku Prisons, is alleged to have been involved in the Bolga-Bawku highway attack. Information indicates that he was among those who perpetrated the deadly assault, leading to the tragic loss of life and destruction of property.
The accusations against these individuals have led to widespread calls for immediate action from the leadership of security agencies. Citizens and observers are demanding thorough investigations and decisive measures to address the alleged complicity of uniformed personnel in acts of violence.
This situation highlights the need for transparency and accountability within the security forces to rebuild public trust. The continued involvement or perceived involvement of security personnel in such incidents undermines efforts to restore peace in the region.
In light of these developments, some community members have issued a stern warning, stating that failure by security agencies to act decisively may compel them to take matters into their own hands. They emphasize that any resulting actions against uniformed personnel should not be misconstrued as unwarranted but as a last resort to ensure justice and safety for the people.
The leadership of security agencies is therefore urged to act swiftly, investigate these claims, and ensure that any individuals found culpable face the full weight of the law. Such steps are necessary to maintain the integrity of the security forces and ensure the protection of lives and property in the volatile Bawku area.
As tensions escalate, stakeholders must prioritize dialogue and justice to prevent further loss of life and property.
