The Ghana Commercial Bank(GCB) has temporarily closed down its Nkwanta branch in the Oti Region due to the renewed chieftaincy clashes.
The re-emergence which has claimed five lives with several properties destroyed has raised safety concerns, prompting the bank to take immediate precautionary measures.
In a statement, the Bank assured that all its staff members are safe and accounted for.
GCB further assured it is collaborating with security services to monitor the situation and will provide updates on when the branch will resume operations.
To mitigate the inconvenience caused by the closure, the bank has reminded customers that its nearby Kadjebi and Jasikan branches as well as its digital banking platforms, remain fully operational for all banking needs.
“GCB Bank PLC reaffirms its commitment to delivering value and exceptional service at all times. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused during the temporary closure,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, following the deployment of a joint Police and Military team by the government, the Ghana Police Service has said calm has been restored.
