The Member of Parliament for Bawku Central and Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, has strongly condemned the brutal killing of Mohammed Seidu Akugri, the Bongo District Director of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
Mr. Akugri was reportedly shot and killed, and his body set on fire in Nangodi, a community near Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, May 20, Mr. Ayariga described the incident as “gruesome” and “dastardly,” extending heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and referring to the late Akugri as a “comrade.”
He called on the security agencies to swiftly investigate the matter and ensure that those responsible face the full rigour of the law.
“I urge everyone to remain calm and support the ongoing peace efforts led by His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to find a lasting solution to the Bawku conflict,” the statement added.
Mr. Ayariga also commended the youth of Bawku for their restraint in recent times and reaffirmed their collective commitment to peace and stability.
He warned against any attempts to derail the progress made so far in restoring calm to the area.
