Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, fellow Ghanaians, and all guests. I desire to thank excited about honouring our brief invitation to this all-essential press convention. This press convention has been necessitated with the aid of using the current happenings which have confounded us all and which want to be added to the eye of all well-that means Ghanaians and beyond.
On Thursday, sixteenth June 2022, at approximately 7:30 am, the citizens of Gozesi, a suburb of Bawku Municipal had a surprise in their lives whilst a collection of Mamprusi guys numbering approximately thirty(30), all wearing yellow apparel led with the aid of using one Mamboda (extra), Hamidu Halidu, and Amande (Abinchi) nicodemously sloped into the close by valley dividing Bawku township and the Gozesi network. These cohorts had meant to thieve the livestock away while the livestock had been grazing withinside the field.
Their collective strive as network individuals to save you those shameless thieves did not yield results.
This turned into due to the fact, that the Mamprusis, with the aid of using their diabolical and thievery talents from birth, had misled the Military stationed near grazing fields to shield them. With their advanced mischievous schemes, the army guys had been deceived into believing that, the animals belonged to them-Mamprusis, and they wished army safety to ship the livestock to their homestead.
What a depraved plan! The organization of the unsuspecting army guys opened hearthplace at the rightful owners(Kusasis) to disperse them for the thieves to make their manner via. This compelled the network individuals to escape for or their lives and paved the manner for the Mamprusis to escape with 26 livestock belonging to the citizens of the Gozesi network. A document turned into ultimately lodged with the Bawku Police and a joint seek turned carried out throughout the Mamprusi network withinside the night of that day.
They controlled to retrieve the most effective 5 livestock with the aid of using night time. The following day, one bull was additionally controlled to break out and lower back to the proprietor making a complete of six retrieved livestock. Subsequent searches carried out with the aid of using protection forces most effective retrieved an abundance of meat from a number of the livestock that were already slaughtered with the aid of using the Mamprusis thieves. Several arrests were made, and by the point of this press release, we're reliably knowledgeable that seven of the Mamprusi thieves were arrested.
Some of them include; Alhaji Awudu of Kpalore, Abinchi Amande of south Natinga, Sumaila (ACC) of Kpalore, Aide of Sagabo and Nashiru of Patilmi. Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, it's far instructive to be aware that for the reason that Mamprusis nurtured and reignited violence on this city withinside the call of chieftaincy dispute, which had long been settled with the aid of using the Supreme Court in 2003, they persisted to interact in provocative acts at each opportune time all geared in the direction of making sure that peace keeps eluding the best human beings of Bawku and Ghanaians as a whole. At the time the President of Kusaug Youth Movement and his group had been making plans to go to faculties and groups withinside the Municipality to evangelise peace and had already visited Bawku Senior High and Bawku Senior High Technical Schools to guarantee them of they wanted to pay attention to their research and do now no longer permit the battle to distract them regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, the Mamprusis had been additionally busily hatching plans and taking into account on a way to rustle livestock. This suggests that the evil sports of the Mamprusis have reached a brand new crescendo.
This additionally really demonstrates how distinct we're from them. Since the battle began many years ago, there aren't any statistics to be had which imply that the Kusasis and the alternative exact ethnic agencies are thieves. It baffles us that, the Mamprusis, after falling flat of a declare of pores and skin bearers, have resorted to armed robbery, stealing of animals and breaking into shops at night time in the course of curfew hours. Yes, we might also additionally apprehend their starvation and plight being manufactured from their folly and recalcitrance, however, there may be dignity in begging for meals than shamefully stealing. Despite calls with the aid of using well-that means Ghanaians along with His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, the Minister of Interior, the authorities white paper examine with the aid of using the chieftaincy Minister, and extra recently, the vibrant announcement issued with the aid of using the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs in appreciate to the Bawku issue. All those have didn't convey peace, the Mamprusis continue to be adamant and instead choose to bad-mouth the ones urging them to be law-abiding.
We, therefore, desire to enchant the safety organizations to behaviour thorough investigations and to make sure that each individual who had engaged in this ungodly act of livestock rustling is diagnosed and punished. Judging from the manner they carried out themselves, it's far apparent that they're all a part of the ones skilled and used to go to violence and mayhem at the human beings of Bawku. Fishing them out and punishing them will now no longer most effective function as a deterrent to others however will even assist in stump out violence, lawlessness and anarchy in Bawku and its environs. The Security organizations ought to prevent listening, accepting and appearing unverified wholesale information.
It prices them not anything to continually check out earlier than appearing. We notion the army and police in Bawku right here for peacekeeping might've regarded the Mamprusis and their nefarious plans higher with the aid of using now and do not fall to their ploy. MEN in uniform, please, the Kusasis aren't preventing something, we're continually protecting ourselves from aggressors. Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, it's far very apparent that because the days byskip with the aid of using, the danger of retrieving extra stay livestock turns into slimmer. We, therefore, desire to enchantment the authorities to compensate individuals who might not be capable of retrieving their livestock alive.
This is due to the fact the motion of the army with the aid of using dispelling citizens of Gozesi turned into what enabled the Mamprusis bandits to break out with the livestock. We aren't with the aid of using an approach seeking to position any blame on the army as their exact paintings on the floor are apparent for all to see, along with their relentless efforts, in collaboration with the police, to get the livestock retrieved. But, we, however, trust that given that they were deployed right here with the aid of using the authorities, any act of omission or fee on their component ought to be borne with the aid of using the authorities.
Besides, we're conscious that, people someplace try their great to suppress this issue. We keenly observe this narrative and something opposite to the reality will now no longer meet palatability. Culprits ought to be made to repay in coins equivalence of numerous animals which have already made their manner via the jaws to the belly of the Mamprusis. In conclusion, we desire to entreat the citizens of Gozesi to stay calm as the safety organizations hold to research the issue. We might additionally want to enchantment to anybody to co-function with the safety organizations and be law-abiding as a way to make sure that lasting peace returns to Bawku.
To the media, we thank once more and desire to explicit the wish that you may assist unfold our message to the best human beings of Ghana in addition to all individuals who matter. Thank you.
