The National Communications Authority (NCA) has shut down four FM Radio Stations in Bawku, in the Upper East Region.
The affected stations, namely Bawku FM, Source FM, Zahra FM, and Gumah FM, were closed following recommendations from the Upper East Regional Security Council and guidance from the Ministry of National Security.
The decision stems from concerns about the operations of the Radio Stations and the inflammatory remarks made by their panellists and presenters, which have allegedly played a role in escalating the Bawku conflict.
The conflict, in turn, has resulted in the loss of lives and property in Bawku and its surrounding areas.
