Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, has called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to activate diplomatic channels with the military authorities in Burkina Faso to locate and return seven residents of the Bador and Tampizua communities in the Bawku Municipality who are believed to have been arrested by the Burkinabe military.
These individuals crossed into Burkina Faso’s Bittu District to claim their cattle after an alleged attack on nomadic herdsmen who were grazing the cattle of the missing men.
Ayariga expressed his concerns and efforts made to locate the missing individuals so far.
“I hereby formally write to seek your assistance to locate and secure the release and return to Ghana seven residents of the communities of Bador and Tampizua in Bawku Municipality who are believed to have been arrested by the military authorities in Burkina Faso and despite every effort we have been unable to locate them and secure their return back to Ghana,” Ayariga wrote in the statement.
