The National Communications Authority (NCA) has shut down four radio stations in Bawku, in the Upper East Region.
The four affected stations include Bawku FM, Source FM, Zahra FM and Gumah FM.
According to the NCA the four stations were closed following recommendations from the Upper East Regional Security Council and the Ministry of National Security.
In a statement on Saturday (24 February), the NCA said “… the operations of the said FM Stations and the incendiary utterances of their panellists/presenters have contributed to the escalation of the Bawku conflict, leading to loss of lives and property in Bawku and its environs.”
