The assailants appeared undeterred by the presence of military officers, continuing their attack even with the security detail. The Bawku area has remained unstable for some time, despite various efforts to restore peace, including the imposition of a dawn-to-dusk curfew.
In an attempt to address the ongoing unrest, President John Mahama visited Bawku and Nalerigu on January 16, 2025, as part of his efforts to find lasting solutions to the conflict in the region.
