Interior Minister, Mubarak Mohammed-Mubarak, has confirmed a sharp decline in the number of curfews imposed across the country, citing improved security and dialogue between government and local stakeholders.
Speaking at the Government Accountability Series at the Jubilee House earlier today, the Minister stated that the number of communities under curfew had decreased from eleven to five, marking a significant milestone in efforts to restore peace.
“We had 11 curfews. We all know what it means to have a curfew in a community instability, difficulties, and challenges. I am happy to say that today, we have only five: Walewale, Binduri, Bawku, Sampa, and Nkwanta.”
The Minister attributed this development to enhanced community engagement and effective collaboration with regional leaders and security agencies.
“This reflects improved security and dialogue and has restored normalcy in previously affected communities,”.
According to him, the lifting of curfews has allowed residents to regain civil liberties, resume daily routines, and participate fully in economic and social activities previously limited by movement restrictions.
Despite the gains, Mubarak emphasized the government’s continued partnership with stakeholders to ensure lasting peace, particularly in areas still under curfew.
“Government is still working hand in hand with all stakeholders to ensure normalcy and peace is restored in affected areas under curfew”.
