Two people were killed, and several others suffered gunshot wounds during violent clashes in Bawku\u2019s Daduri suburb on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.<\/p>\n
The violence, which included a gun battle, led to two houses being set ablaze, further intensifying the area\u2019s ongoing security crisis.<\/p>\n
This incident brings Bawku\u2019s recent death toll to 25, following the killing of an elderly man last week who was attacked after losing his way home from the hospital.<\/p>\n
The escalating violence has forced many residents to flee. Six buses, under military escort, were seen transporting people from Bawku to Bolgatanga for safety.<\/p>\n
The clashes have disrupted lives, closed schools, and shuttered businesses, creating a serious threat to both security and economic stability.<\/p>\n
Tensions spiked with the recent return of rival chief Alhaji Seidu Abagre, who had been in exile, and several recent ambushes targeting travellers.<\/p>\n
In response, authorities have imposed a curfew from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, enforced by security agencies to help restore peace.<\/p>\n
