So we are investigating the arrested person. The police always escort the traders when they close from the market in the evenings. But we will increase police visibility in the area\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar incident also occurred at the Atuba market in the Binduri District, where unknown men wielding guns burnt the goods of market women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5 persons nabbed over renewed disturbances<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bawku has always been in the news following years of protracted ethnic conflicts. The Bawku conflict has claimed several lives, with many residents being displaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police in the area recently arrested five persons suspected of murder and discharging firearms without authority in the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were earlier in the week remanded by the Bolgatanga Circuit court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About 100 teachers have fled Bawku over unending turmoil \u2013 GNAT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) had also disclosed that, 100 of its members have so far fled the troubled Bawku township due to the conflict there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The General Secretary of GNAT, Thomas Musah, said this development was understandable given the turmoil in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs it stands now, 100 have left. They have been given the release to leave, and I think the rest are also pursuing the release to leave,\u201d Mr. Musah lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that \u201cthe teachers have all gone to the education directorate and are asking for release to leave the place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
