A woman and her two children have been tragically murdered in Bawku after gunmen who were reportedly dressed in military uniforms stormed their residence and shot them.
The incident occurred in Tensungo, a few metres from a military camp in the Bawku township. Though it is not clear what provoked this incident, however, it is reported to be linked with the ongoing chieftaincy conflict in the area.
This has tallied the total number of deaths in the area since the re-emergence of the conflict in October 2024 to 45 people.
The last incident was on January 25, when a 13-year-old boy was killed around the same spot of the Bawku township.
This has intensified tension in the area after two weeks of relative calm.
Authorities say the bodies have been deposited at the morgue after a doctor’s confirmation.
