One Dead, Several Injured in Gun Attack on Market Women in Bawku
A deadly gun attack on a group of market women in Bawku Township has left one person dead and several others injured.
The victims, all residents of Bawku, were reportedly returning from trading activities outside the township when unidentified gunmen opened fire on them. One woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while the injured were rushed to nearby health facilities for treatment.
Security personnel have since been deployed to the area, and investigations are currently underway to track down and arrest those behind the attack.
Although the motive remains unclear, some residents believe the incident may be connected to attempts to discourage locals from trading at the Kusasi market. However, this claim has not been officially confirmed by authorities.
The Ghana Police Service is yet to issue a formal statement, but updates are expected as preliminary investigations progress.
The incident has further heightened tensions in Bawku, a town that has experienced recurring security challenges in recent years.
