Members of Parliament for Garu and Tempane Albert Alalzuuga Akuka and Lydia Akanvariba Adakudugu have both condemned the military brutality of civilians in those constituencies and demanded their withdrawal.
And further demanded the release unconditionally of those arrested and those injured during the military disturbances should be taken care of and compensated by government/Ministry of defense.
In a joint statement, they noted that the lawlessness and brutality inflicted on innocent citizens should stop.
As they urge constituents to remain calm and peaceful during these challenging times for them to provide update as they gather information and work towards a comprehensive peace in the area.
“This unprovoked action by the Military on the innocent civilians is uncalled for and must be condemned by all peace-loving people. Any form of violence and brutalities meted on citizens, especially when it is perpetrated by those who are supposed to serve and protect them must be condemned unequivocally”.
And they are deeply disturbed by these reports, especially considering the volatile nature of the area vis-a-vi the Bawku Conflict (Note that Garu and Tempane are part of the Bawku Traditional Area), and we are therefore actively seeking more information about the situation.
We stand with our constituents who have been affected and demand a thorough investigation into the matter to ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
Our priority is the safety and well-being of our constituents, and we are committed to providing support to those who have been impacted by this incident. We are working closely with relevant authorities and organisations to ensure that justice is served and that such incidents are prevented in the future.
