The Ministry of the Interior, in collaboration with the Upper East Regional Security Council (REDSEC), has placed a ban on the movement of motorbikes, tricycles, ‘aboboyaa’, and other vehicles in the Binduri Township and its environs in the Upper East Region.
The ministry, announcing the decision signed by sector minister Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak, noted that the directives stem from the volatile security situation in the locality.
It warned that any person found riding motorbikes, tricycles, or ‘aboboyaa’ would be arrested and prosecuted.
The ministry also reviewed the curfew hours imposed on Binduri Township and its environs, changing them from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. with immediate effect.
“Meanwhile, there is a total ban on all persons in the Binduri Township and its environs from carrying arms, ammunition, or any offensive weapons. Men wearing smocks and any persons found with arms or ammunition will be arrested and prosecuted,” the statement added.
The government urges chiefs, elders, opinion leaders, youth, and the people of the area to exercise restraint in the face of the challenges confronting them, as well as to use non-violent means to channel their energies into ensuring peace in the area.
