Two individuals were shot and killed in Atuba, a suburb of the Binduri District in the Upper East Region, in an incident believed to be linked to the ongoing Bawku conflict.
The attack occurred on Monday, March 17, 2025, when gunmen on motorbikes opened fire on traders at a crowded marketplace, instantly killing the victims.
The victims have been identified as Mohammed, a local veterinary officer, and a pastor from the area.
While the motive for the attack is not yet clear, it is thought to be connected to the ongoing Bawku conflict.
This incident brings the death toll to around 76 since the conflict resurfaced in October 2024.
