Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga has urged Parliament to intervene in the escalating conflict in Bawku.
The Legislator wants Parliament to investigate the harmful actions that have led to the death of some five persons.
Unknown gunmen earlier fired into a group of people at the community center in Bawku on Wednesday, January 17, resulting in the death of two persons, while four others were injured.
Mr Mahama Ayariga described the incident as dastardly and unacceptable.
Commenting on this matter earlier on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 on Thursday, January 19 with Alfred Ocansey, Mr Ayariga said “It is unfortunate that we continue to experience this situation that has caused so many lives to be lost, so many people to be injured and hospitalized and so much property to be lost in Bawku central constituency.
“…those who were killed yesterday, that was dastardly, that was unacceptable and the perpetrators must be searched for by the law enforcement agencies and dealt with.”
Three persons were allegedly killed by some armed soldiers at Sabongari in connection to the people.
According to the Assemblymen of Sabongari, the armed soldiers drove the victims to an unknown location, tortured and killed them.
The Ghana army is yet to publicly comment on the matter.
