Professor Titus Beyuo covers medical bills of 12 Hamile unrest victims

Professor Titus Beyuo, the Member of Parliament for Lambussie, has pledged to cover the medical expenses of 12 individuals injured during a period of unrest in Hamile, Upper West Region. The violence erupted following a dynamite explosion, which led to heightened tensions and eventually direct confrontations between local residents and security forces. The MP’s commitment aims to alleviate the financial burden on the families of those caught in the crossfire.

The situation in the border community reportedly escalated after allegations surfaced that civilians had been shot, prompting angry residents to demonstrate against security personnel. During the protests, some individuals targeted and damaged property associated with the Ghana Immigration Service. In an effort to control the crowd, security forces fired warning shots, which resulted in several injuries. The injured are currently receiving care at various medical facilities in the region.

During his visit to the medical centers, Professor Beyuo spent time with the victims and their families to offer support and assess their conditions. Medical reports indicate that among the 12 people being treated, two require surgical intervention to repair fractures sustained during the unrest. The MP assured the families that he would personally take responsibility for all costs related to their treatment and recovery, ensuring that no victim is denied care due to a lack of funds.

This intervention comes at a critical time as the Hamile community works to restore peace and stability after the traumatic events. While the immediate focus remains on the recovery of the injured, the incident has sparked broader discussions about the relationship between civilians and security agencies in the area. Professor Beyuo has called for calm and urged for a thorough understanding of the circumstances that led to the violence to prevent future occurrences.
