Residents of Wa, the capital of the Upper West region, are considering banning politicians from campaigning in their area if immediate measures are not taken to stop the ongoing killings of innocent citizens.

The latest incident occurred early on Monday, July 15, 2024, where a man in his late thirties, identified as a driver’s mate, was found murdered near a warehouse where he had been unloading goods.

According to reports, residents expressed deep concerns about the persistent violence and stated they were living in constant fear.

They emphasised their reluctance to engage with politicians until effective solutions are implemented to address the escalating menace.

This recent fatality marks the 14th victim believed to have been brutally murdered by a suspected syndicate operating in Wa since 2022.
