Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak
The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, on the advice of the National Security Council and by Executive Instrument, has reviewed curfew hours on Nalerigu township and its environs in the East Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, effective Thursday, July 31, 2025.
The minister urged chiefs, opinion leaders, youth, and people of the area to exercise restraint in the face of the challenges confronting them, as well as use non-violent means to channel their energies into ensuring peace in the area.
He, however, reiterated the total ban on all persons in the Nalerigu township and its environs in the East Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region from carrying arms, ammunition, or any offensive weapons, stressing that persons found with arms or ammunition will be arrested and prosecuted.
The curfew follows the killing of two students of the Nalerigu Senior High School by unidentified gunmen who stormed the campus on the night of Saturday, July 26, 2025, which has been linked to the long-standing Bawku conflict.
