The Ghana Armed Forces has appealed to individuals, particularly bloggers, content creators, and media personnel, to stop posting old military footage and falsely linking it to their current operations in Bawku.
A statement issued by the Public Relations Department of GAF described such acts as disinformation.
GAF lamented that such activities undermine peace efforts, could lead to needless agitation, and will also exacerbate the situation in the area.
“The Armed Forces also wishes to appeal to all individuals, including bloggers, content creators and media personnel to refrain from posting previous military footage and linking them to the current operations, an act that constitutes disinformation and mal-information. Such behaviours do not only undermine the peace effort but also leads to needless agitations and exacerbates the situation.”
The statement, which was signed by Captain (Navy) VA Arhin, Acting Director General Public Relations, provided an update on the ongoing peace enforcement operations in Bawku.
He disclosed that GAF has intensified its operations in Bawku, Nalerigu, and adjoining communities since Tuesday, July 29, 2025.
“Key activities currently underway include ground and aerial manoeuvres aimed at restoring law and order.”
GAF called for cooperation from residents in the affected areas.
“The Military urges all peace-loving residents in Bawku, Nalerigu and its environs to cooperate with the Ghana Armed Forces by complying with security directives, especially the curfew which has since been reviewed by Government from the initial 2pm – 6am to 6pm – 6am.
The Ghana Armed Forces remains fully committed to its mission to restore peace and stability in Bawku, Nalerigu and surrounding towns and calls on all stakeholders to support and collaborate towards its successful accomplishment.”
