According to statement released by the Ministry of National Security, the people of Garu and Bunkpurugu/Nankpanduri districts in the North East and Upper East regions must be vigilant because intelligence gathered indicates that a group was sighted board motorbikes dressed in apparels that hid their faces and headed for the mountainous area in the Garu district. It has, therefore, advised the Chief of Defence Staff of the Ghana Armed Forces and the Inspector General of Police to be on high alert. Meanwhile alert came barely two weeks after the Ministry of National Security launched the “See Something, Say Something Campaign” aimed at raising public alertness on terrorist activities. In recent times, there have been widespread alerts for some weeks of possible terrorist attacks in the country.

Beware of possible terrorist attacks – Nat’l Security to churches
The National Security has cautioned churches across the country against possible terrorist attacks. The caution by the National Security comes on the back of the activities of terrorist groups in neighbouring West African countries The National Security has however, indicated that measures have been put in place to foil terrorist attacks. Measures put in place include, engaging services of accredited private security agencies an installation of Closed-Circuit Televisions (CCTVs). A statement issued by the National Security said: “In view of the growing threats of terrorism from the sub-region and the expansionist drive of terrorist groups towards Coastal West African states, with a renewed modus operandi of targeting public gatherings including places of worship, it is imperative that precautionary measures are taken by all stakeholders.” A report released by the West Africa Centre for Counter Extremism (WACCE) noted that: “Ghana’s first recorded case was Nazir Alema Nortey3 , a young university graduate, who shockingly left the country in august 2015 to join ISIS before sending a message back to his parents to announce his new found cause. “He was killed in Syria by April 2016. Professor Kofi Awoonor, a renowned Ghanaian poet and academic, was killed in the West Gate Mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya when Al Shabab fighters besieged the mall in 2013.” The report also note that: “Even though the fatality numbers are presently down from the peak of over 7,200 in the region in 2014, the threat has increased in complexity and geographical spread. Today 53% of all ECOWAS now been encircled by the threat. These developments are dangerous for Ghana. “Ghana’s proximity to these countries (Burkina Faso to the North, Benin and Togo to the East and Ivory Coast to the West) exposes the country to extremist recruitment or attacks or both.” It added: “Unending Bawku chieftaincy conflict, the ethnic tensions in Northern Ghana and the unresolved challenge of Western Togoland separatists in the Eastern border regions amplify the risks.” —classfm

Youth of Mamprusi and Kusasi in fresh press releases fight over Bawku Skin
Apexnewsgh.com has sighted press releases and counter-press releases emanating from both the Mamprusi Youth group and the Kusasi Youth Group, which should be of great interest to the Ghana National Security Department due to the content from two sides. The cordial and peaceful coexistence enjoyed so far in the Bawku Municipality after some years of terrible experience, if care is not taken, is trying to resurface again and this time through the issuance of press releases threats and counter-threats between the Youth of Mamprusi and Kusasi in the area over the issue of renaming of the Bawku Traditional Council and Bawku skin. However, the press releases banter started after a video interview in which one Professor, Prof George Akeya Agbango who believes to come from Kusasi’s side allegedly made false historical claims as considered by the Mamprusi Youth leading their press release to clear the air. Below is Prof. George Akeya Agbango interview which triggered the press releases: Meanwhile, it was after the above interview by Prof. George Akeya Agbango that triggered the Youth of Mamprusi to come out with a press release titled: BAWKU HAS NO CHIEF AND THERE IS NOTHING LIKE KUSAUG TRADITIONAL AREA:A REACTION TO PROF AGBANGO’S CLAIMS AND MATTARS ARISING-MAMPRUGU KAYA NI TA’DA YOUTH GROUP. However, after the above the press conference by the MAMPRUGU KAYA NI TA’DA YOUTH GROUP, the CONCERNED KUSAUG YOUTH responded by coming up with the press release below. CONCERNED KUSAUG YOUTH Press Release Monday, 25th October, 2021, Bawku. RE: BAWKU HAS NO CHIEF, AND THERE IS NOTHING LIKE KUSAUG TRADITIONAL AREA: A REACTION TO PROF AGBANGO’S CLAIMS AND MATTERS ARISING- MAMPRUGU KAYA NI TA’DA YOUTH GROUP. Our attention has been drawn to a provocative press conference organized in the North-East Region by a disgruntled, blood thirsty Mamprusi group calling itself MAMPRUGU KAYA NI TA’DA YOUTH GROUP as a response to an interview granted by the renowned Professor George Akeya Agbango. In the said video, the celebrated academic chronicled the in-depth history and struggles of Kusaas in the Kusaug traditional Area. We would have treated their distortions and invitation to violence with the contempt it deserves, but for the unsuspecting public who might not have been informed of their distorted claims. The good people of Kusaug and Kusaas see this immaterial presser as a piece emanating from some evil-minded persons using these hired trigger-happy youth to attempt to disrupt the peaceful tribal coexistence in the Kusaug kingdom. Therefore, this brief response seeks to educate the mickey mouse group and their surrogates on their queasy and pathetic write up. To make it brief and easy for them to appreciate, we sought to itemize the most outlandish portions of their mendacious claims that threatened the peace in Kusaug and Ghana as a whole, and which might sway the unsuspecting majority into believing their gibberish and vanished facts. THE CLAIM THAT BAWKU HAS NO CHIEF: One of the claims of the disgruntled Mamprusi group in their presser was that Bawku has no Chief. To set the records straight; Per Local Government Bulletin No. 26, dated 05 September 1986, Zugraan (Overlord), Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II was enskinned on 24 April 1984, as the Paramount Chief of Bawku. Per Chieftaincy (Membership of Regional Houses of Chiefs) Instrument, (L.I. 2409, 2020), Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II was gazette as the Paramount Chief of Kusaug (Bawku) The Zugraan, Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II is not just a permanent member of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs but has served as President of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs.4. The Zugraan, Naba Asigri Abugrago Azoka II has been and is a member of the National House of Chiefs. Are these disgruntled evil-minded group of Mampusis questioning the competency of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs and National House of Chiefs to determine who are the legitimate Chiefs in Ghana and their membership? To further assist these hooligans to cure their ignorance, the legality of the Zugraan remains incontestable. Previous attempts at challenging the legitimacy and authority of the Zugraan failed miserably in the light of common sense, truth and justice. The most recent attempt is evidenced in the Supreme Court of Ghana decision in the case of Alhaji Ibrahim Adam Zangbeog v. Anincheema Abugrago & Anor, 2003. In this case, some Mamprusis brought a case challenging the legitimacy of the Zugraan as the Paramount Chief of the then Bawku Traditional Area. So bad, shallow and hollow was the Mamprusis argument against the daunting weight of evidence adduced by the Kusaas that, the Mamprusis sought to retreat. On 29 April 2003, ACQUAH JSC (Presiding Judge then) granted their application to discontinue the case but without liberty to apply under PNDCL 75 and articles 270 and 277 of the 1992 Constitution. This literally means that the Supreme Court shut the doors on the disgruntled Mamprusi group never to come again challenging the legitimacy of the Bawku Skin. The Supreme Court slapped the Mamprusis (led by Alhaji Ibrahim Adam Zangbeogo) a fine of ten million (¢10,000,000) old Ghana cedis. Besides, if the overwhelming evidence adduced above is still difficult for these hoodlums to comprehend that there is a legitimate Chief in Bawku against their bilge water notion, we remind them of the remarks of recognition by past presidents. Evidently, in the two separate visits of the President of the republic of Ghana and Commander in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, H.E NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFFO-ADDO to Bawku, He never minced words in re-affirming on both occasions that, there is only one Bawku Naba in the person of Zugraan, Naba ASIGRI ABUGRAGO AZOKA II. This remark by the first gentleman of the land in his chiefdom visits is not a funfair but to equally blacklist the minds of sycophants and whirlwind chasers to rather invest their energies into profitable ventures and forget daydreaming for chieftaincy titles in Kusaug. Perhaps we need to avert their minds also to the fact that, His Excellency the Vice president (Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia)
