The National Communications Authority (NCA) has closed Bawku FM, Source FM, Zahra FM, and Gumah FM all in Bawku in the Upper East Region, citing national security concerns.

The NCA explained that the activities of the above-mentioned stations contribute to the Bawku conflict, affecting peace and security in Bawku and its environs.

In a press release dated February 24, 2024, the NCA stated that the shutdown of the stations is in accordance with the Electronic Communications Act.

“This follows the recommendations of the Upper East Regional Security Council and on the advice of the Ministry of National Security that the operations of the said FM stations and the incendiary utterances of their panellists and presenters have contributed to the escalation of the Bawku conflict, leading to the loss of lives and property in Bawku and its environs.”

“Consequently, the NCA has invoked its powers to shut down the stations in accordance with Section 13(1)(e) of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008 (Act 775) which provides that “the Authority may suspend or revoke a licence or a frequency authorization where the suspension or revocation is necessary because of national security or is in the public interest,” the release said.

The NCA emphasised its continuous work with relevant stakeholders to execute its mandate as stipulated by the law.
