The Minister for the Interior Mubarak Mohammed Muntakahas lifted the curfew imposed on Hamile Township and its surrounding communities in the Lambussie District of the Upper West Region, following an improvement in the security situation.

The decision, which takes immediate effect, was made on the advice of the National Security Council and through an Executive Instrument.

In a statement issued on Monday, November 9, the Ministry of the Interior said the government had urged chiefs, opinion leaders, the youth and residents to exercise restraint in addressing the challenges confronting the area.

It also called on all stakeholders to resort to non-violent means of expressing their grievances to help maintain peace and stability in the community.

Despite the lifting of the curfew, the government has maintained a total ban on the possession of arms, ammunition and other offensive weapons in Hamile Township and its surrounding areas.

The Ministry warned that anyone found in possession of such weapons would be arrested and prosecuted.
