Defence Minister, Dominic Nitiwul says the government will send 500 more military personnel to Bawku in the Upper East Region next week to maintain peace.
According to the Minister, there are currently 400 soldiers in the community to assist with the conflict.
The Minister has therefore charged the military to treat individuals involved in the disturbances as criminals saying the conflict is no longer tied to chieftaincy issues.
Dominic Nitiwul was speaking on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday. He assured that the government is committed to addressing the situation.
Ayariga, subsequently petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over the alleged killing by the military.
The allegation has since been refuted by the Ghana Armed Forces. In a statement, the Ghana Armed Forces said they engaged an armed combatant in Bawku and neutralised six of them.
The MP is demanding investigations into the incident and GH¢500,000 recompense for each person allegedly killed by the military.
The Minority in Parliament has called for an ad-hoc committee to probe the alleged killings.
