Inspector General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno has called on the youth of Bawku to choose peace, promising them priority in upcoming police recruitment as part of efforts to help restore stability in the troubled area.
During a visit to Bawku on Friday, April 11, IGP Yohuno praised the resilience and dedication of the people, noting that a special recruitment exercise would be launched in the region specifically for its youth.
“When it comes to recruitment, we will give the people of Bawku priority. We will give the youth of Bawku priority, and so for that matter, a special team will come here to do special recruitment for the youth of Bawku,” he announced.
The IGP emphasized the importance of community cooperation and encouraged residents to openly share their concerns about the actions of the police, assuring them that mistakes would be addressed swiftly to strengthen trust.
“I know how hardworking people from this area are. So we are pleading with you—just let us know where we are going wrong so we can quickly correct those things and make sure that you continue to work with our people diligently,” he said.
“Where, by mistake, we have done something wrong, forgive us. We won’t repeat those things again,” he added.
The visit forms part of broader efforts by the Ghana Police Service to engage directly with communities affected by conflict, with the goal of rebuilding trust and fostering lasting peace.
