Gunmen struck a drinking spot in Binduri Down, a suburb of the Binduri District in the Upper East Region, on the night of Sunday, March 23, leaving six people with gunshot wounds.

Three of the victims succumbed to their injuries, while the other three are currently receiving treatment at the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital.

According to eyewitness accounts, the assailants arrived on a motorbike, opened fire on patrons, and fled the scene immediately after.

Although the motive remains uncertain, some sources believe the attack could be connected to a recent shooting in Atuba, a nearby community, where two people were killed. That incident was reportedly linked to the ongoing Bawku conflict.

The renewed chieftaincy tensions between the Kusasis and Mamprusis, which reignited in October 2024, have so far resulted in approximately 79 deaths.
