The Ministry of the Interior has imposed an immediate restriction on the use of motorbikes in Binduri and surrounding communities in the Upper East Region following a security incident involving an attack on a military patrol team.
The directive, announced on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, comes after three civilians were killed in the attack, while one other sustained injuries. Security reports indicate that seven of the attackers were also killed during an exchange of fire with military personnel.
According to the Ministry, the restriction is intended to help maintain law and order, safeguard lives and property, and support ongoing security operations in the area.
“In view of the security situation, the restriction is a necessary measure to maintain law and order, protect lives and properties, and support ongoing security operations in the area,” the statement said.
Government has further appealed to traditional authorities, opinion leaders, the youth, and residents in Binduri and nearby communities to remain calm and exercise restraint.
Residents have also been urged to channel grievances through lawful means and cooperate with security agencies working to restore peace.
Authorities say the measure forms part of broader efforts to strengthen security and prevent further escalation of tensions in the affected areas.
