A deadly attack in Gumyoko, a locality in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region, has left three people dead.

Security officials reported that unidentified assailants stormed the area on motorcycles late Saturday, March 8, 2025, opening fire on residents. Two individuals were fatally shot on the spot, while two others sustained injuries. One of the injured later died while receiving medical attention, whereas the other remains hospitalized at an undisclosed facility.

The motive behind the attack is yet to be determined, but authorities suspect it could be connected to the ongoing Bawku conflict, which has led to numerous casualties and widespread destruction.

So far, no arrests have been made, and investigations are in progress.
