Bawku: Two persons reportedly killed, others injured in gun battle

Renewed violence in Bawku has resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to several others following a chieftaincy-related gun battle.

The conflict, which had recently calmed, escalated with the return of rival chief Alhaji Seidu Abagre, who had been in exile since February 2023.

His return followed a Kumasi High Court ruling that quashed his arrest warrant on October 17, 2024.

Tensions surged upon his arrival, leading to gunfire exchanges on the night of October 26.
