It is reported that the wearing of smocks in Bawku has been banned per a directive from the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council.
The Council said its decision stemmed from the fact that some unscrupulous were hiding arms and ammunition in smocks to attack residents.
“Following the decision taken by REGSEC during the emergency meeting, the wearing of smock in Bawku Township has been banned with immediate effect.

The Council has asked MUSEC to ensure that the directive is enforced.
