Mahama Ayariga Condemns Fatal Shooting in Bawku, Calls for Mediation

Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, has strongly condemned the recent shooting incident in his constituency in the Upper East Region. Unknown gunmen reportedly fired into a group of people at the community center on Wednesday, resulting in the tragic death of two individuals and leaving four others injured.

Expressing his dismay over the unfortunate incident, Ayariga called on Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Ashanti Hene, to intervene and help mediate the situation. Residents are said to have fled the area out of fear for their lives, highlighting the gravity of the security concerns in Bawku.

In an interview with Citi News, Ayariga unequivocally denounced the violence, stating, “It is most unfortunate that we recorded this gun violence, resulting in two deaths and the injury of several people. These developments are regrettable, and I condemn them in no uncertain terms. We continue to call on the office of the Ashanti Hene, Otumfuo, to mediate.”
