This violent incident occurred just a day after another resident was killed while attempting to relocate within the town. These back-to-back attacks have shattered the uneasy calm that had prevailed in the area in recent weeks.
The recurring violence in Bawku has heightened fears among residents, many of whom remain confined to their communities to avoid becoming targets. Travel between areas has become increasingly perilous.
Despite the imposition of a dawn-to-dusk curfew in November 2024 aimed at curbing unrest, the security situation remains precarious. No arrests or updates regarding the perpetrators have been made public so far.
