The Ministry of the Interior has lifted the restriction on the use of motorbikes in Binduri Township and nearby communities in the Upper East Region.

The ban was imposed on April 28, 2026, following an attack on a Ghana Armed Forces convoy in the area that resulted in the deaths of three civilians. It was introduced as part of security measures to restore calm and support security operations.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, June 16, the Ministry said the restriction has been lifted with immediate effect, allowing residents to resume the use of motorbikes.

“The Ministry of the Interior wishes to inform residents of Binduri Township and its environs in the Upper East Region that the restriction on the use of motorbikes imposed on April 28, 2026, has been lifted with immediate effect,” the statement said.

The restriction was part of wider security interventions introduced after the attack amid concerns over tensions and public safety in the area.

Interior Minister Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak had previously said the measure was aimed at maintaining law and order, protecting lives and property, and supporting security operations.
