Chief of Army Staff, Major General Lawrence Kwaku Gbetanu, has cautioned individuals behind the ongoing crisis in Bawku.
According to him, any attacks on civilians or military personnel will be treated as acts of extremism.
He stated that if these attacks do not stop, the Ghana Armed Forces would use force in dealing with those involved.
Speaking at a press briefing after touring Bawku in the Upper East Region on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, Maj Gen Gbetanu said, “I’ll serve a word of caution to all, especially those fomenting the trouble in Bawku, that their days are getting numbered. Any attack on innocent civilians or any military personnel will be considered an act of extremism and will be met with the deliberate full strength and resolve of our forces.”
He declared that there would be no “no safe haven” for those choosing violence over peace and unity.
Major General Lawrence Kwaku Gbetanu said the Ghana Armed Forces will track and bring all those involved in the crisis to justice.
“We will pursue every individual involved. And justice will be served,” he assured.
“Lay down your arms; return to the path of peace. Your future does not lie in bloodshed but in building, learning, and growing your country,” he said.
