Remember that in February of this year, the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs said that people in the area are now afraid because of new fighting in Bawku.
The House of Chiefs said that the fighting has spread to other parts of the region, making people scared and panicked.

The head of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs, Pe Ditundini Adiali Ayagitam III, said that the Bawku crisis needs to be dealt with straight on.
“The Upper East is generally a peaceful region until the Bawku crisis erupted into proportions beyond human imagination. The crisis has reached a stage where everybody is highly suspicious of their neighbour.
“We are no longer safe in the region. Whether you are Kusasi, Mamprusi, or a well-meaning citizen who wants to see peace in the area, you are tagged to either of the warring factions.”
Immediately after his plea to the government, the interior minister sent a troop of military men to the area to help restore calm and order.
However, a video that has surfaced on social media shows a set of soldiers and prison officers fighting amongst themselves.
The video has since drawn national attention as the cause of the fight between the two security factions is yet to be known.
