A cargo truck under military escort was allegedly ambushed by unidentified assailants in the Missiga suburb of Bawku on Thursday, January 16.

Per reports, the truck, en route from the border town of Kulungugu to Bawku township, was targeted by gunmen who launched an attack from a concealed position.

The attackers reportedly fired upon the vehicle before making a swift escape. Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported.

The persistent unrest in Bawku has been linked to the deeply rooted chieftaincy conflict between the Kusasi and Mamprusi factions, which continues to destabilize the Upper East Region.

This ambush marks the latest in a spate of violent occurrences that underscore the deteriorating security conditions in the area, raising serious concerns about the region's safety and stability.
