The Regional Chairperson to GNAT Ivy Naaso spoked about this misfortune arrangement when She was granted an interview with 3FM’s Sunrise on Wednesday hosted by Mr. Alfred. She was updating sunrise categorically on whether or not teachers have neglected their mandatory services to the state following Bwaku’s current situation or riot.
This incident is very fearful. On 19th September 2022, two teachers were killed during operation shoot and kill battle. These industruous and innocent teachers were on their way to school when they met their untimely death. A bullet from no where hit them to death. This has created fear and panic in the surviving teachers in the town.
