Calm returns to Gwollu after altercations

Calm has returned to Gwollu, the capital of the Sissala West District of the Upper West Region after Thursday's altercations. 

A group of angry NPP youth locked out the District Chief Executive over the appointment of a District MASLOC Coordinator. 

According to a journalist who works with a Local Radio Station, Radford FM Balu Mahammed, it took the intervention of the Regional Minister and the Police to bring the situation under control. 

Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has called on law enforcement agencies to enforce Ghana’s laws without fear or favour.

Speaking at the 2017 Ngmayem Festival, of the Chiefs and people of Manya Krobo, President Akufo-Addo stressed that “the application of the laws of the land will occur, in the words of the judicial oath, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will, and without recourse to the political, religious or ethnic affiliations of any citizen of the land.”

President Akufo-Addo’s call comes in the wake of disturbances in Karaga and Sissala West being perpetrated by alleged supporters of the New Patriotic Party.
