Gunmen have attacked two separate areas in Bawku, leading to the deaths of two people.

One of the victims, identified as Moro Aziz, a man with mental health issues, was reportedly killed after he entered the Bawku cemetery in the Gozesi area.

The second victim, Kasim, was shot in the Daduri neighborhood while attempting to relocate to another area.

Per reports, these recent incidents have pushed the total number of deaths to 35 since violence reignited in late October 2024.

Despite the imposition of a dawn-to-dusk curfew, the area remains unstable. The conflict, which started in November 2021 over the installation of a rival chief, persisted through 2023 before easing, only to resurface recently.
