The Interior Minister acting on the advice of the National Security Council and by Executive Instrument, has lifted the ban on women riding motorbikes in the Bawku Municipality and its surrounding areas.
Under the revised directive, women are now permitted to ride motorbikes daily between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
The Ministry, however, maintained that the ban on men riding motorbikes in the area remains in force until further notice as part of ongoing security measures.
The Interior Ministry has urged residents of Bawku and its environs to comply fully with the directive to help maintain peace, law and order, and security in the area.
The Ministry renewed the curfew on January 13, January 27 and again in March, 2026, maintaining the ban on carrying arms, ammunition and offensive weapons, alongside the restriction on motorbike use.
