Binduri, Upper East Region – March 24, 2025 – A deadly attack at a local drinking spot in Binduri Down on Sunday, March 23, has left three people dead and three others severely injured.
Eyewitnesses say unidentified gunmen on a motorbike stormed the area and opened fire on customers before fleeing. The injured victims are currently receiving treatment at the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital.
Possible Links to Bawku Conflict
Although the motive behind the attack remains unclear, sources suggest a connection to a recent shooting in Atuba, a nearby community, where two people were killed. That attack was reportedly tied to the ongoing Bawku chieftaincy conflict between the Kusasis and Mamprusis.
Since the resurgence of ethnic clashes in October 2024, about 79 people have lost their lives in the protracted dispute.
Call for Security Reinforcement
Residents have expressed fear and concern over rising insecurity in the region and are calling on authorities to step up security measures to prevent further violence.
Meanwhile, the police and military have intensified patrols as investigations continue to identify and apprehend the attackers.
