The Ahafo Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has revised the terms of the curfew imposed on Bomaa in the Tano North Municipality.

The curfew was imposed on the town on January 9 by the Regional Security Council in consultation with the Interior Minister and the National Security Minister after chieftaincy clashes in the area that led to the demise of one person and several others injured.

It has been revised from the daily 5PM to 7AM to 10PM to 5AM each day.

In a statement released by the REGSEC after an emergency meeting held at Goaso, the regional capital said, "The new curfew hours shall be from 10PMto 5AM every day."

"All public gatherings have been banned with immediate effect'', the statement gathered.

However, the statement exempted Muslims to be allowed at the mosque on Fridays, Adventists at the church on Saturdays and other Christians at the church on Sundays.

Meanwhile, all parties and stakeholders are entreated to comply with these new arrangements in order to achieve absolute peace in the Bomaa community.
Special Aide to the Ahafo regional minister, Mr Andrews Frimpong told Sompa News in an interview that, the curfew hours would be reviewed based on the recommendations of the security personnel stationed at the community to ensure peace. He said, the minister expressed satisfaction with the calmness in the community when he visited them after the meeting.

"The Ahafo Regional Security Council (REGSEC) will continue to collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure lasting peace in this regard", he stressed.
