Binduri MP Abdulai Abanga is urging Parliament to step in and facilitate a lasting resolution to the ongoing turmoil in Bawku.

Mr. Abanga also suggested the involvement of other pertinent stakeholders as mediators to ensure the establishment of enduring peace.

During an interview with Citi FM on Monday, January 22, he emphasised the importance of residents actively working towards restoring calm.

He insisted that this concerted effort is essential for the progress and completion of developmental projects in the area.

“What Parliament can do for now to help the situation is to assist with mediation because the situation we have is that people are trying to retaliate against others for killing their relatives.

“For me, that will never end the conflict. So, we need the leadership of Parliament and well-meaning Ghanaians to come and talk to the young ones to unite because, if you look at the nature of the area, we are all related in one way or another.

“We need to understand that it is important for us to live in peace so that we can enjoy development because we have serious developmental issues over here.

“If we don’t stop it, funds will either be diverted to providing security, or even contractors and other people will withdraw from the area. We will suffer in the end because we have a lot of challenges.”

Unknown assailants ambushed and unleashed gunfire on a truck on the outskirts of Binduri.

The truck, en route to the Atuba market, fell victim to the attack on Monday, January 22.

This incident transpired after 48 hours of relative calm in the town. Among the victims are two males and four females.
