The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has led a senior police delegation to the Savannah Region following violent clashes that claimed several lives.
In a statement, the Ghana Police Service said the visit aims to engage traditional leaders, opinion leaders, and community representatives in Sawla, Gbeniyiri, Giniri, and other affected areas to discuss measures for restoring calm.
The Service explained that the move is part of broader security efforts to strengthen its presence in the region and prevent further escalation.
“We urge all sides to remain calm and support the work of the security teams to achieve lasting peace,” the statement read.
The clashes, which erupted on Sunday, August 24, in Gbeniyiri following a land dispute, resulted in at least 10 deaths. Six others sustained injuries, with three reported to be in critical condition.
Reinforcement teams from the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Armed Forces, and other security agencies have since been deployed to stabilise the situation.
