Binduri shooting leaves three Dead, three Injured

Unidentified gunmen attacked a local drinking spot in Binduri Down, a suburb of the Binduri District in the Upper East Region, on the evening of Sunday, March 23, leaving six people shot.

Three victims were confirmed dead, while the other three are receiving treatment at the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital.

Eyewitnesses reported that the assailants, riding a motorbike, stormed the area and opened fire on customers before fleeing.

The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but sources suggest it may be linked to a recent shooting in Atuba, a nearby community, where two people were killed. That incident was reportedly connected to the ongoing Bawku conflict.

Since the resurgence of ethnic clashes between the Kusasis and Mamprusis over chieftaincy disputes in October 2024, approximately 79 people have lost their lives.
