Police debunk allegation of militia training in Bawku

The Ghana Police Service has disclosed that it has thoroughly investigated and dismissed reports of alleged militia training in Bawku, Upper East Region.

According to the Police, the claims circulating in recent publications are entirely baseless.

In a statement released on X (formerly Twitter), the Police reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining peace and security in the region and condemned the spread of false information.

“The Ghana Police Service has noted with concern a publication alleging the training of some militiamen at Bawku in the Upper East Region. We wish to state that our investigation has found no evidence of such training in the area or its environs.”

“This is the second of such false publications within a week by some unpatriotic individuals intended to create unnecessary alarm and panic among the public. The Police are working to bring the perpetrators to book and the public should be assured that we will get them.”

The Police further assured the public that they are working diligently to identify and bring to justice those responsible for these false reports.
