The Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) has closed down its Bawku department quickly as a result of ongoing safety threats within the space.
ADB introduced the closure in a press release on Facebook on November 1, 2024.
“The branch will resume operations as soon as the security situation in the area improves,” ADB mentioned.
Meanwhile, the Bank’s digital platform will proceed to be out there to be used.
The determination is within the wake of the latest killing of 16 individuals in Bawku after renewed clashes. The newest unrest was triggered by the return of Seidu Abagre to Bawku on October 24, after his contentious enskinment as Bawku Naba in February 2023.
Despite the shortage of authorized recognition for this title, his presence has exacerbated tensions between rival factions, leading to a number of clashes.
Government by means of the Interior Ministry has issued a curfew within the Bawku township.
