A five-month-old baby has sadly loss her live in Bawku.
The tragic incident occurred after some assailants forcibly took her from her mother and violently crushed her to the ground, killing her instantly.
The grieving mother was reportedly ambushed by the attackers, when she had stepped out to trade and was subjected to a brutal beating, and had her infant daughter snatched from her before the horrific act was committed.
This horrific incident marks yet another casualty in the ongoing conflict in Bawku and along the Bolgatanga-Tamale highway.
Despite intensified efforts by security forces to quell the unrest and safeguard commuters, armed assailants continue to unleash deadly attacks, deepening fear and uncertainty among residents and travelers in the region.
There has been an escalation of violence following the resurgence of a long-standing chieftaincy conflict, sparked by the return of rival chief Alhaji Seidu Abagre from exile.
Abagre fled Bawku after an arrest warrant was issued against him following his contested installation as chief in Nalerigu, a High Court ruling in Kumasi on October 17, 2024, nullified the warrant, allowing him to resurface.
