The Interior Minister, Alhaji Muntaka Mubarak, has appealed to the people of Binduri to respect the ongoing security protocols as part of efforts to maintain peace and stability in the region.
In a statement released on April 26, the Minister confirmed that the curfew imposed on Binduri Township and surrounding areas will continue, running from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am daily, effective from Sunday, April 27, 2025. This move, supported by the Upper East Regional Security Council and formalized via an Executive Instrument, comes as part of the government’s strategy to prevent further escalation of tensions in the area.
Alhaji Muntaka reminded residents that the ban on the use of motorbikes, tricycles, and “aboboyaa” (local motorcycles) remains in full force. “Any individual, whether man or woman, caught riding motorbikes or tricycles will face arrest and prosecution,” the statement emphasized, stressing the importance of complying with this restriction.
The Minister also called on the traditional leaders, youth, and the entire community to stay calm and avoid violence, urging them instead to focus on promoting peace within their community.
Additionally, the statement reinforced the prohibition of carrying weapons, ammunition, and the wearing of traditional smocks, which could potentially conceal arms. Individuals found in violation of these orders will be swiftly prosecuted.
Despite the stringent measures, the government maintains that these actions are necessary to protect the lives and safety of the people of Binduri and ensure a lasting peace in the region.
