The police in the Upper East Region are on high alert over a possible attack by alleged bandits from Burkina Faso.
All commanders have been alerted through an internal memo as the bandits plan to attack Bolgatanga and its environs.
The memo said the suspects who are in possession of “military grade weapons” may have already infiltrated parts of the Northern Region.
The alert follows the arrest of at least 19 Burkina Faso nationals for illegal entry into Ghana last week.
The 19 migrants, consisting of 13 males and six females, travelled through unapproved routes on the Gwollu stretch in Sissala West, the district sharing a border with Burkina Faso.
They have since been handed over to the Burkina Faso authorities on the other side of the border.
